Did you use an anti squeal compound on the back of the new pads? This is a pretty common issue with new pads.

Yeah, brake grease is good to use. Some semi metallic pads just make more noise than others. Thus why I like ceramics

I have used the CRC brake quiet stuff and it seems to be working good. Got it at autozone and its holding up pretty good.

Did u resurface the rotors too or replace them? ur just gonna have to figure out where the noise is coming from if its the rear or the front first. have someone stand out side the truck and help u listen to determine where the noise is coming from.
