At around 43k my truck had already developed brake squeal at most light to medium braking and it’s a 2018 all OEM stuff. I yanked the stock rotors and pads and did Wagner premium ecoated rotors all the way round. And then did PFC carbon metallic pads. Lubed all the pins and cleaned it all up. Got much less noise and after about 2k miles I pulled the PFC pads bc they had gotten alittle louder and consistent with light brake noise/squeal/high pitch noise. I ended up swapping to EBC yellow stuff pads and noise went away. Now I’m at 54k miles and the noise is back but it’s only
On light brake tip in. Once I get past that initial second of pad touching and press further it stops. No noise during medium light, medium or heavy braking. It’s annoying bc it sounds like front and back are squealing sometimes and it’s not consistent. When cold the brakes are dead quiet, get some heat in them and they make noise. On light brake tip in once it makes noise I can maintain light pressure and keep the noise going for a while till I let off or press harder to stop. It’s a high pitch squeal. Also pass rear I think makes some noise when I’m coasting straight with no brakes and no throttle. Sounds like a light scrape or high pitch whine almost but not very loud.
What are my options to get this to stop? I can say the EBCs are fully broken in, not sure if I warped all the rotors but I have no pulsing or funny braking feeling. Brakes work great and the EBC yellows stop pretty good. When I called PFC about the noise they said I could break them in again but if the noise continues to come back they said some vehicles/platforms are just prone to more brake noise.
