2024 potential brake issue?
So I know this is vague and I have not been to the dealer but... of late when I stop anywhere, fuel, grocery, wherever I drive to I smell brakes when I hop out of the truck. Has anyone heard of a brake issue on the 2024 SD's?

I have noticed that smell on my 2024, around 2500 miles on the odometer. Seems to be coming from the passenger rear. No clue what caused it, but it appears to have gone away now. I haven’t smelled that odor in the last 500 miles or so.

Get an infrared
gun and shoot each wheel when done driving. If you have a hanging chad, it will find it. It also comes in handy when towing as you can spot check the tires and bearing hubs after a run to make sure you don't have a potential tire failure or bearing going bad.

Yes - my right front brake drags. It get hot, stinks and coats the rim & tire with brake dust. The dealer says there is nothing wrong. Since I’ve owned over 30 vehicles, pretty sure this isn’t normal.
