Obviously the dealer did not "inspect" the truck properly, or it failed quickly after you got it which should not be the case with a 05 with 26k on it.
It should be under warranty either way with 3/36 or at least under the dealership used warranty... I would not expect for the fix. Actually I would make it a point that I did not pay for it!
Just my take on it!

Dealer BETTER make it right. I'm on a dealer rant lately as I recently discovered that they "forgot" to include a few items with my truck when I bought it. Like the wireless headphones, the remote control for the dvd, the owner's manual, little things... DON'T let them off the hook.

Had the same thing happen last week to my 05 the right rear caliper was stuck slightly on and frozen..make sure your rotor was not warped from the excess heat build up..my dealer replaced the caliper and both sides rear brake pads under warranty looks like there might be an issue with the rear calipers getting wiped out on these new 150s as my dealer never questioned it and the mechanic knew what it was right away.
