99 Dodge Dakota brake noise

Hi, I have a 99 Dodge Dakota 4x4 V6. I replaced the front pads and rotors. Now after the truck is driven for a few miles and warms up the front end makes a growling/grinding noise. When I press the brake it goes away. However when I take my foot off the brake to take off it is at its worst. I can then drive a few hundred feet and it will fade away untill I press the brakes again, and then accelerate. The noise goes away whenever I press the brake even if I press it ever so slightly. Thanks any insite will be greatly appreciated.
