Default break squeal

i had my pads replaced about two months ago and they started to squeal real bad so i took the pads off put some of that brake squeal lubricant on it and it came back so i bought all new rotors and pads on the internet the drilled and slotted ones put them on and a few days later the freakin squeal is back and now it clicks when the slots hit the pads in front, this is a 2003 ram 1500 4x4 is there something that im missing when i put on the lube or what and the click is irritating me too. what else can i do? its really bothering me sounds like crap!!!!

Where you put the gel lubricant can be the difference between squeaking and not squeaking. I hate the squeaking, I normally put it on at every contact point of the pad.

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you resurface or replace the rotors when you replaced the pads?
