When I brake, especially in reverse, My new 2003 Dak
lets out a low tone disc howl. I still have low mileage,
just hit 1200 Km, but I expected the brake coating to
wear off by now. Any similar experience? I hope it's
not a truck trademark.

It kind of is, Bryguy, and my '03 had it too. Mine
only has just over 300 miles on it though.
Try doing the hard-braking thing the manual
suggests. I did that and it all but stopped,
except for once since I did the hard-braking
procedure several times to seat everything. I
took it in to the dealership and they said it was
normal. In my case, anyway, it did drastically
go down.

Jeremiah, thanx for the link, seems like lots
of others have this problem with the 2003's.
now I guess that I have to be concerned with
a brake life of only 17-20 thou. miles.

BRYGUY, I wouldnt worry about brake life. They are a lot better than the 00-02s. A lucky co-worker has 50k on his 00 dakota brakes. The 03s should do that easy without all the problems of older models. Once they wear in a little you`ll be fine. I wouldnt consider it a problem by the way, maybe a short inconveniance. What people went through with older dakotas, now those are problems. Relax.
