Alright guys, I'm losing my mind. This is the second day I've had my brakes torn down after work and no progress.
Symptoms:
It only does it when the brakes have some heat in them, even just a quick drive through the neighborhood and back.
It only does it when I apply light brake pressure. If I press harder it stops.
There is no noise when the brakes aren't applied.
I went to Auto Zone and bought some special silicone something-or-rather that is specfically for greasing the backs of pads as multiple people suggested. I did this with all 8 pads and re-assembled everything. Took the truck out for a drive again to get the brakes warmed up...I thought everything was great until I pulled onto my street and slowed down to pull in the driveway...needless to say they are squealing just as bad.
So far I've:
-Verified pads are all in good shape with TONS of life left.
-Checked that there are no pebbles, rocks, etc stuck anywhere.
-Pulled the one dust shield away from the rotor that could have been the noise and verified that the others were nowhere close to the rotor.
-Greased the backs of all the pads and other metal to metal contact points.
Please help me...it's making my practically new truck sound like a beater at every stop.
