so that 100 degree outside temp is what made all the difference, huh? You so dumb.

You absolutely cannot warp a brake rotor in one braking instance, even if you dragged the brake for 17 years continuously. Heat warping is caused by continuous and repetitive high heat ups and cool downs. Of course, this applies to the typical modern day rotor on most vehicles.

GM has had a problem with warped rotors in the past on trucks mostly on the fronts. With the wierd tire wear and cupping problem with the tires that occurred, over time, the front rotors warped causing a need for them to be turned.
