Silverado 2500 6-cyl

2005 Silverado ls extended cab: Extreme heat with smoke billowing from the front disc brakes. Extremely hot hubs left and right front. Proir to todays pre-fire conditons, I reported to the Chevrolet dealer that the front brakes seem to "stick" while driving and were hot with a burning smell. (truck was purchased last month and has only 466 miles) intermittent hot hubs and burn smell, but no smoke. Today, reporting fire conditions with the extreme heat and billowing smoke. Left a message to the Chevrolet dealer and will put in their shop tommorrow the 8th of April 2005.
