This can’t be normal… Loud breaking free sound after truck sits stationary for a while… VIDEO

[DTown3011]

Lately whenever I engage my truck from a stationary position into reverse, there is a large almost breaking free sound that also gets worse whenever there is moisture. For example, if it rains or snows, the sound is typically louder. It almost sounds like the shocks and the struts are seizing up after sitting for a while and then they break free when I reverse the vehicle. This can’t be normal or good for the truck and I’ve submitted a service request, but I wanted to see if other people have experienced this and post a video.
Help?!?!

No video? But my brakes stick pretty badly if the truck has been sitting for awhile, and definitely worse after rain. Once I'm moving it completely goes away.

Can't see the video, but I absolutely experience this as well.

That doesn't sound normal. Mine makes a clicking sounds occasionally when backing up. I attribute that to the parking break releasing. It may be similar. I've seen stories of the release springs sticking on those pads and thus causing some extra wear and noises.

Video is up now sorry it took a moment to upload

I see the video now. Nope, mine sounds different than that. Does it only do it in reverse? Mine will do it regardless of which way I move, but only if it's been sitting for a long enough time.

Parking brake sticks a little after it gets activated while wet and sits for a while. Normal.

It's made worse if your initial movement is the opposite of what you did when parking.

I never use the parking brake FYI

Parking brake is automatic. I think that sounds way worse than the normal parking brake sound.

I'm almost always backing out of my garage, so I'm not 100% sure if it happens while also going forward. I will check tomorrow.

It’s the parking brake for sure. Not out of the ordinary, especially around moisture and/or salt.

My R1T has be doing that for nearly 2 years any time it sits for any extended period (overnight), particularly if there is any moisture. Doesn’t matter whether I’m departing in Fwd or reverse….

It appears to be the parking break fully releasing. my suggestion would be to clean the pins on the calipers of any debris. Brake cleaner and a pressure washer through the areas should solve it.

You can't not use it.
