I've replaced the pads and rotors on my 97 f250 HD, only to have constant squealing. I've replaced ranger rotors before with no problem but this has been an adventure haha. It's squeals constantly up to 35, (I've only went up to 35) and squeals louder under braking. Just looking for some pointers. Probably just need a good cleaning, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. The truck is parked until its fixed more than likely. Thanks in advance!

 

Did you put the "grease" on the back of the pads?
It should have come with the pads.

 

I depends on what quality parts you used? You can chaffer the pads meaning take I file and bevel the front and rear of pads on a slight angel. You can also use brake quit, it's a glue like compound you put on the back of pads like a glue.
Did you replace the rotors? Sometime just taking the truck out and pound the **** out of the pads can help. They can get glazed
Hope this helps

 

No grease with em, would've

 

Used BrakeBest "Premium" rotors and pads, was running low on brake clean so I'm thinking it might be the coating? Sprayed both sides just maybe not enough lol. I thought about pounding on em just wasnt sure if it was the right solution.

 

Fixed it. Wiped everything clean then noticed when spinning the hub that the clips were on backwards. Don't know how they didn't squeak before. Thanks for the help though guys!

 

Yay!! Good news
