Why do your rotors have small grooves after installing new rotors and brakes?

Your rotors had the grooves before, from the old pads. You should have had them turned. Next time check rotors at time of fitting new pads. If you can see or feel grooves then they should be repaired.

Brand new front brake pads and rotors on 2002 Dodge Intrepid why do they still sqeak?
Most of the time, and it seems especially true about Chrysler vehicles, a new brake pads and rotors need a period of time to be "broken in". As the brakes are used, the brake pads put small grooves in the rotor that is unique to every pad. The squeaking you are hearing are the brake pads cutting the rotor. If this continues for a long period of time, definitely take your car back to the shop where you had the brakes installed.

Where are an aircraft's brakes located?
Most large aircraft have disc brakes located inside the rim of the wheel. Some aircraft with smaller wheels have brakes mounted next to the wheel rim. The brakes fit so precisely inside the wheel rim, that you may not know what to look for. The typical passenger aircraft brakes consist of a stack of rotors and stators. The rotors are plates with brake pads that attach to "keys" on the inside diameter of the wheel rim and rotate with the wheel. The Stators are attached to the hub of the brake and remain stationary and do not spin. The Rotors and Stators are alternated. When the brake pressure is applied, small hydraulic actuators compress the stack to rotors and stators against each other to create friction. If you go back and look at the first couple of episodes of the TV series "Lost", you will see some close up shots of their crashed airliner and there is no Brakes inside the wheels. (Obviously, the producer bought some surplus aircraft parts and didn't buy the brakes.)
Why do the front brakes and rotors go out and nothing on the back brakes on a dodge diesel 2500 series This is a 2000. Thanks for any help.?
the main reason for your brake problem is that Chrysler did not supply the trucks with adequate brakes from the get go..the rotors are to small ,and get warped easily,they get hot fast ,if you hit a mud puddle or rain after they are hot your rotars warp,calipers also are not adequate either. and the main reason for your fronts needing more repairs and more often is the fact that 70% of your brake stopping power comes from the front verses the rear brakes,they are aftermarket companies that offer larger rotors and calipers for this vehicle. might want to pickup a truckin magazine

On a 2004 explorer sport trac do you need to replace the rotor when the pads are worn?
Only if the pads are worn so badly that they have cut a deep groove in the rotor. Small grooves are fine, rotors just need to be turned (shaved) to make them smooth again.
How do you know you need to replace a rotor?
If you drove your car for too long and the pads were worn out then there will be small grooves or either big grooves from were the metal was rubbing against the rotor. If it has big grooves in it then they probably need to be changed or on some you can turn your rotor around and still use it. If it has small grooves it should be ok. Hope this is some help to you.
