Ford F-250 makes grinding noise when brakes are applied?
My 1997 Ford F-250 4x4 makes a grinding noise like metal on metal when coming to a complete stop. I recently removed both front tires to inspect brake pads and they seem to be ok and the rotors dont seem to be damaged. The rear brake drums and shoes are all new. The weird thing is, you cant hear the grinding noise from the outside of the truck. You can only hear it from inside the cab.

Perhaps the brake pads or discs are finished and the brake piston goes too a ways that it does no longer return alot, inflicting the pad to still keep in touch with the disc and making it grind. Now when you apply the brakes it stop making the grinding sound due to the fact that of stress. Normally rust on the disc can sound like grinding specifically if the was once no longer driven for a very long time. But when this isn't the case, then investigate the pads or disc, Of course it would be a lot less difficult to assert if I was once looking at the vehicle.

most likely your pads are shot, check the inside of your front rotors. I'll bet there is a bad pad
also just because they are new doesn't mean they are good, sometimes they fail from overheating, or just a factory defect
so pop your rear drums off and look them over

Check your brake fluid, and it may be your calipers it just hasn't screwed up your rotors yet.

Calipers on too tight.
