I have a 2019 Ram Classic with the Hemi. Love the truck but I have two questions, does anyone else have discolored, looks like rust but its like spots werent painted brake calipers. And I noticed this morning that when I press on the brake I can hear a noise from behind the shifter. I know the noise is the lockout releasing but are we suppose to hear it? Just noticed it today.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Haven't looked at my calipers but I hear the noise when I apply the brakes.

Hearing the shift interlock is normal. Can you post pictures of the caliper.

That looks like it’s just on the caliper mount bracket, not the caliper itself. Are they all like that or just one?

Thats what I meant, caliper mount bracket, sorry, I should have specified. Just a couple of them have that.
