Anyone run any that don't squeek? If so what kind? I've got a good amount of life left on these Mopar ones but wouldn't be against replacing them if I could get some that don't squeek at all.

I'm running the EBC Green Stuff pads on mine. Not the cheapest things in the world but no noise very little dust and you stop now. They have a higher coefficent of friction. Got them at CarQuest for around $85.00

It never ends does it?! After spending so much money on getting our trucks to GO, now we have to spend money to get them to STOP!
When will it ever end.....
Actually, I'm interested to find out what everyone else has to say as well. I really need to replace mine.

On my 1999 Ram I ran a set of ceramic pads I bought from AutoZone. I believe the brand was Morse - they stopped the Ram quickly and the braking, I remeber was incredibly smooth. I plan on installing a set on my '98 Ram as well.
They made no noise, no dust, and felt really good.

this is the reason i started this post, some of these pads are are really expensive and they suck
when i did mine a coupl months back i used the best ones that napa had ( they didnt have ceramic) the set cost 90$ and they suck they dont stop on a dime like the old ones i had and the dust is bad.
-1 for napa's best
keep it coming guys

No. I had the Raybestos on there which after I put them on I noticed the rotors were warped as it never shook until I put them on. When this happend I went and go Mopar Rotors from the dealer and put them on. I ran them for probably 14k miles and it squeeked with those still. After 14k miles or so the pads were worn out. Those didn't last long at all. I put Mopar pads from the dealer on this time hoping to stop the squeeking and they are just as bad if not worse. These seem to be wearing a little better so far though.

is it he pads squeeking against the rotor or the back of the pads squeeking on the caliper? my brother in law is the mechanic but i know he always greases the back of the pads at the contact points where friction might occur. just another idea.

No idea. How can I tell? It just squeeks whenever I hit the brakes. If I take a air hose and blow all the dust out it helps a little bit for a short time but it's still there and doesn't last long.
