Default Sqeeeling brakes

Well, I guess it time to change my brakes. I got them sqeeling now! Have you guys changed both the rotors and pads to be done with it? Or, just the pads?
Also, if you did the brakes with the whole rotor change, did you stay with OEM or drilled slot?? Any help or suggestions would be great!! Thanks

Because of the life of the brake pads, I am going to change my rotors when I change the pads. 50,000 miles and still not anywhere near needing pads yet! Too much time in between I feel not to chaneg the rotor and just be done with it. I have no rotor warping so I do not see the need to change it to anything else but OE when I do it!

42K and you changed the pads? Why? These pads go to around 100K.

In my opinion if your brake pads are worn out and you dont have any brake pulsation or brake pull, just put in a set of pads if its your first brake job on the truck. Second time, same rule but you should measure rotor thickness to make sure they are still in min thickness spec. Once the new pads are in drive the truck up to about 35-40mph and do a good hard brake apply to a stop. Drive a couple miles to cool them and repeat. Do this 3 or 4 times to seat the new pads. This is called a burnishing procedure and will make the brakes stop the truck better and reduce squeal.

Never had this problem on the H2's, but when it happened on the Porsches or Merchedes, I'd just run em up to 100 and hit the brakes as hard as I could. Problem solved!

yu.. first set of pads on my rig. I have 110K miles on them! Ill prolly go with OEM pads then..
I was going with the rule of thumb to change them all with rotors so I dont have to take them all apart again if rotors are wearing
