loud squealing brakes

just had the front brakes done on my 02 f350sd. Had them install all heavy duty in the front end. pads and rotors. They squealed a little after they were fixed. I took it in and was told it was just the pads breaking in, but now its unbearable. TOO LOUD AND EMBARRASSING. What could be causing it. Is it most likley the pads?

Could be that they didn't use anti-squeal coating on the back on the pads.

anti-squeal coating, sounds like anti-stop to me.

It goes on BACK of the pads not between the pad and rotor. There is enough free play that they actually rub back and forth to make a squeal. This cushions it. Believe me it works.

I put the anti squeal on the back of my pads and it did not help at all. I think maybe I just cheaped out to much on the pads and rotors. I hope in a couple months the squeal will work itself out.
