Braking Issues??

Hey guys alright here's the deal, my truck is a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with a lift kit and 35's. It doesnt even have 5000 miles on it. Yesterday when i cranked my truck to leave for work i took it out of park and into reverse. When i left my foot off the brake the truck would roll backwards as expect but when i reapplied the brake, it seemed like they lock up and grind like someone was stomping on the E-Brake. Today when i tried to reverse i let off the brake and the truck didn't even move until i applied the gas in which case the truck jerked back and when applying the brakes again it felt the same. Here's the kicker, this only happens for a little while until the truck gets running and then there arent any problems, everything feels smooth and as it should. Obviously something isnt working right and since this is a brand new vehicle i want to get it fixed as soon as possible. I do not live in any cold environments or anything that would cause failure due to weather. Any advice or possible guesses at what the problem could be please reply back. Also i thought i should mention the fluid levels seem fine and there arent any leaks of any fluid, brakes, transmission, oil, nothing. Really need some input here !!! I tried contacting the service department to get an idea of what they think it might be before i take it up there for them to look at and when i described my situation and the details the response i got the typical " We'll just have to inspect" response, as if they cant give me a list of ideas that of what it could be.

Warranty. Take it in..... Sounds like something sticking

the dealer will take one look at the 35's he has on there, and will say, have a nice day...unless it came stock with them.. sorry to say that's what they will blame it on.

 

good luck

I agree that the dealer might give you crap for the truck being lifted and having larger than stock tires. However I'd check to see if the e-brake tensioner needs adjustment since the truck has been lifted. You could also have something binding due to the increased susupension and drivetrain angles.
