So I painted my calipers and reinstalled the pads & what not, and one of the rotors came loose when I was trying to unbolt the caliper. I thought nothing of it and bolted everything back up, etc. and I drove the truck on sunday because I had to and I didn't have a chance to bed in the brake pads. anyway now one squeals when I gently press the pedal (I assume it to be the one that came loose) because it doesn't squeal evenly, it's like half the rotor is coming into contact with the pad, it goes "squeeksqueeksqueeksqueeksqueek" unless I press the pedal down hard. should I bed in the brakes or do I need to adjust something first?

How does it go again?:D
 
Sounds like your pad is shifting now after the removal. Remove the pad, put some brake goop/anti-squeak on the back (autozone), and reinstall....

My brakes on the SRT8 will start squeeking every 1000 miles or so....a 60 to 10 mph hard breaking repeated 8 times then 10 minutes of no braking gets read of the squeek..
