Mine did the same thing too... so I got some stuff called Sqeal Stop at the local parts store. You spray it directly on the rotors all the way around, reinstall the rotors, and then take the truck out and apply the brakes good and hard 6-7 times to wear the stuff in. Worked really well. Check to make sure your anti-rattle clips are on the pads correctly and apply some high-temp RTV to the back of the pads too. Good luck!

I had the same problem. I supposedly got the anti-squeal pads with the special backer. But I took no chances.



Permatex makes some blue stuff you spray on the backs of the pads and on the contact surfaces of the caliper and piston. It lubes components as well as filling the air gaps.



Here is a shot of it applied:

I can honestly say that it works. My truck was squealing like crazy until I applied it.
