Squeeling brakes
I have a 2001 superduty Scab 2wd LB, I checked my brakes and they have about 60% of the pad left. Went I make a slow stop, using the brakes lightly a get a squeel. If I push noise on them it go away?? This is annonying. What the fix????

It's pretty much normal. Disc brakes squeal sometimes. Aside from a complete brake job, there isn't a lot you can do.
A buddy claimed he solved his squeal by taking the pads off and cutting diagonal grooves into the friction material with a hacksaw. but it seemed to me you'd just be shortening your brake pad life by doing that.
