Default Brake squeal

Hello,
I have a 2002 Ram 2500 with rear disks that the rear brakes are squealing horribly. I recently replaced the brake pads and it still keeps squealing. Does anyone have any idea as to what it could be?

Might want to try putting some anti squeal compound on the back of the pads and see if it helps. Also may want to pull off the rotors and see what the parking brakes look like. May be a broken spring or something in there.

Maybe they're ticklish. That's not the squeal you're talking about? Seriously, when the rear pads were replaced, were the rotors refinished to remove any glazing? Was an ati chatter pad used when they were put on?

I used the anti squeal compound and it did nothing. I will check the parking brake next. I didn't use it for the longest time, than used it when I replaced my dash to hold it while the shifter was down.
