:angry: This summer I put all new brakes on my truck. I did new everything, new rotors in front, new drums in back, new pads, new shoes, I even took the time to properly burnish them. For some reason the damn things still squeek and its driving me nuts. It seems like they squeek when I'm at mid-pressure on the brake pedal. If I push the pedal down really hard it stops squeeking, or if I'm pressing the pedal real lightly it wont squeek eaither, only at mid pedal basically. Do I have to use some shims on the pads, or some of that brake grease or something? Or should I just try throwing some new pads on rigt away incase this pair glazed somehow even though I went out of my way to properly brake them in? :angry:
 
Are you greasing the slides? Also using any tipe of anti-squeel on the back side of the pads.?
