    Any ideas why? They get a little squeak to them to but work very well in the rain, better then when it’s dry out.

    Are you sure? It is very unlikely that they actually work better. Perhaps lack of noise makes it seem like it?

    It about tosses me forward in the rain. It seems to make noise in the rain

    I would have someone that knows brakes take a look. Nothing about this sounds normal. When was the last time your brakes were serviced?

    The truck is new to me. Had it little over a month. Lot of front end work was done a few thousand miles ago so I’m guessing then. I should take a look tho at the pads. Maybe the type of break pads like the rain? lol

    It's hard to say but the only thing that comes to mind is perhaps they put new pads on worn rotors...but I donno.
