Default Brake Trouble Help

OK I have an 02 Ram 4x4 1500 V8 5.9L, anyway when I slow down and/or stop at slow speeds the brakes squeal (sometimes, not all) and sometimes they squeal LOUD like at a drive thru etc. Also at high speeds like from 30 and up coming to a stop at a light or sign I hear a moan or a grind and can feel it too. So I am taking it in tomorrow to a shop. Any ideas what it could be? I cant remember the last time I had them serviced or what was done, if EVER. Mileage 110,000 (bough truck in 04 at 60,000 miles). Thanks for any help and input!

sounds like you need new brakes lol. if the pads and rotors werent changed together, the pads may not have mated themselves correctly into the rotor. While you're in there may as well put some brake grease (99cents at any auto parts store) on the back side of the pads (NOT the friction surface!!).
