Chirp Sound on Hard Right after Brake Job
Guys,
I have a 99 D2. I recently did a brake job and replaced the rotors and pads. Drove the truck for a few days and broke the brakes in properly. Today, I took a long trip and was towing home the Scout Troops Trailer. After about 50 miles I turned off on to an exit ramp and I got a chime and the three amigos came one. I also noticed that went I turned sharply to the right, I got a chirp like metal on metal. I thought at first a caliper might be dragging, so I checked them out and they are fine... but it doesn't make since that I only get the noise when the truck is warmed up and it's a hard right turn. Could it be a problem with the hub? I will admit, I didn't check the fluid yet in the front axle.
Thoughts?

Yes, I used an appropriate amount of brake grease between the shim and pad and on the pad contact points in the caliper. I pulled the calipers yesterday and everything seems to be in order. No binding brake pads.

But it is a metallic chirp. I was driving it last night. It seems to do it when the brakes warm up and only when I turn hard to the right. Makes me think it's something to do with the hub. And that's why I'm also getting the three amigos.
