2011 Ford F350, 69K miles Squeak from wheels front

Just started, at about 30mph Im hearing a Chirp from the front, speeds up when I speed up and goes away with brakes or slow below 30.

Friend thinks its the brake warning telling me its time for new.

Bugging me. Just started. Never changed brakes.

I had issues at 20k 40k 60k etc with brakes on my 2008 2011..seems the twin piston calipers would stick or one of them and the pads would crack and wear bad...must be my towing.. the 2016 I have has been great.. it had some squeal early on but finally cleared.. has 70k now..new brake design I see on the 2016.

Got a little louder, so took it in to Les Schwab and they confirmed its a little metal piece on the pads that shows.

I've been off grid for over a week, and hadn't had opportunity to repost.

So I'm going to do new rotors and Pads.

Anyone know a good place to get some.

My 99 I went with stoptech slotted rotors and hawk LTS pads. Overall I was happy, I had slotted previously from like 10 years ago as well. Drilled I didn't care for, made too much noise for my liking. At the time autoanything was best deal, you'll have to do some checking. EBC is well branded and liked, they'd do well I am sure...

I personally would go with stock rotors and ceramic pads.

there are two type of pads to be had. I don't have it in front of me but there are heavy duty pads and regular pads.


I am running the HD pads, bit more expensive but made for heavy service work.

Go motocraft

I have used other brake pads on super duty. I have not been happy with anything else besides motocraft.


Side note. If you buy on amazon, be carful of knock offs.

Got some from Rock Auto, nephew recommended them. They are very nice rotors and ceramic pads. Came with new clips and brake lube.

Sunday they are going on .

I was just going to recommend Rock Auto...usually the cheapest and fast shipping. Here's the link for anyone else that's interested:

Which kit did you end up going with?

All in, pretty easy and everything fit perfect. Took a test drive and brakes have good stopping power (well as easy as I would let them) Best of all, no more annoying
squeak.

I haven't looked at the service manual regarding brakes. Are the rotors on these trucks easy to replace or are they pressed on and require special tools?
