New brakes squeaking
I just put new pads (front and rear) on my truck on Friday, yesterday they started squeaking worse than they squeaked before I replaced the pads. I used anti squeal grease on the back of the pads, and on various other area's on the caliper (where there would be movement).
I have also not done any real hard braking on them, as am trying to bed them in slowly. I have done about 150 miles on them, but most of this has been a commute to work and back (not much braking). Could the squeaking just be a result of them being new and needing bedding in? when I replaced the pads I checked the rotors and all 4 were in good condition.
The squeaking is really annoying, any suggestions as to how to get rid of it? Thanks.

Having not turned the rotors is causing the brake pads to squeal.
The metal on the rotors are tempered and thus creates a squealing brakes.
Tempered rotors are caused by brakes getting very hot and heating the rotors. Tempered rotor are very discolored (brownish in color) and will show signs of heating up (marks).
Have the rotors turned, flush out brake system with new brake fluid, and verify if brake pads are glazed (replace pads if necessary or sand down pads on flat surface with 80 grit sandpaper). You might get by, if you turn the rotors which are making noise and scuffing down the pads with sandpaper.
