I have a 2005 silverado ext cab 5.3. Ever since it started getting cold my brakes squeak at first. It only does it on the first few stops, after that they are fine. Does that mean I need new brakes?

Its not the first car that has done it with me. I had a Ford Ranger that was worse. None of them were brake jobs done by me either

Mine has done it when cold or after a rain since new. Just a side effect of the rear drums. Not hurting anything.

I just find it annoying when stoping buy a busy cross walk on a cold winter day and you have like 5 people looking at you on your first stop . With most of them thinking he needs new breaks . Guess i am just self consensus .

My rear are the ones that do it, I have checked them and they have plenty of pad. I think its the nature of drum breaks and what material the pad is. I bet a real high quality pad would not do it.I Mean shoe

Put some synthetic high temp brake grease on the back of the pads and sliders. The noise is caused by the movement/vibration and moisture of of the caliper and the backing of the pads. It worked like a charm for me.

I have 2011 with 4 disc. Mine do that too on the first time using the brakes. When the truck has sat for awhile. I know what you mean by embarrassing as it is loud as hell!!! I have just 8000 miles on her.. I need to get it in for a few other things as well...

Perfectly normal. Cleaning out any excessive brake dust in the rear drums can help some but after the dust comes back from normal wear, you'll be back to the same thing.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
