    Thanks for your help and quick response.I took the wheels off last night and noticed that around the brake line connection at the caliper was red rusty.do you recommend changing these out (oem or better equipment) or leave them alone the truck has 248000 miles and this will be the 2nd brake and rotors replacement since I bought the truck with 140000 miles

    wow, 100k with only 2 brake pad changes, nice

    but definitely check if there are any leaks. if it's just dirt then no biggie.
