IF the Pad is in backwards that could happen.
This has happened to me twice. First time Autozone sold me the wrong brake pads. The ones they sold me fit a suburban which I assume has a slightly larger rotor. The part number is the same for my GMC truck except it is a -1 or -2 which was the difference. This year I had Pep Boys do my brakes and as I left the repair center my brakes grinded when I stopped. The mechanic scratched his head but he discovered the same problem that the pads his parts counter had given him were for a suburban. He installed the correct truck pads and problem solved. You may want to check your part number and see if this is what happened to you. The suburban pads were slightly taller and this produced the grinding.
What else can I help you with?
What causes a dodge truck to make a grinding noise in the front that happen off and on?
Are you Breaking when you get the grinding sound? Or attempting to switch to 4 wheel? Most common grinding sound I know is a worn out brake pad tearing up a rotor. Time for a brake job. New rotors and quality pads can be had for about 150 if you do the labor yourself.

It could be a broken brake pad binding and grinding. I wouldn't drive it too far without pulling things apart and finding the source.
What can cause a grinding noise in the front end as you drive down the and as you turn the steering wheel you hear a grinding noise?
Had same problem with mine, if you turn right and it grinds, the left hub bearing is going out and vice versa. The weight of the truck is placed on the bad bearing the opposite way you turn. Should sound like a grind but it is a consistent "noise""quiet""noise""quiet".

Im having a a constant growling grinding noise coming from the rear end of my 1999 ford f 150 truck like something is grinding or out of line.?
If the noise changes pitch under acceleration and deacceleration I would suspect the carrier bearings or pinion bearings are shot. If there is no change under acceleration or deacceleration I would suspect an alxe bearing is shot.
Why is there a Gringing in front brakes on 1995 ford pu f150?
A grinding, snapping or dragging sound coming from breaks can be a sign that new breaks need to be put on. if the brake pads have been used after being worn out the rotors can become grooved and even warpedI have a 1995 f150 and I had a grinding noise and it was the front wheel bearings. not a hard job if you have the manual for the truck and bearings are fairly cheap. if it's more of a squeeling then it's the answer above.
