Makes the noise while driving or all the time? Did you replace the hardware too, or just the pad?

I only replaced the pads cause the rotors didn't look bad theirs some occasional loping and it only makes the noise when I come to a stop

Im assuming you put semi-metalic pads on? Or do you even know? And if you feel "loping" thats probably whats causing it. Even the smallest of warp in a rotor can cause it to squeal. Or your hardware is worn and the pads are vibrating. Did you change out the little shims on the end of the pad that holds it in the caliper?

i replaced mine with duralast semi metallic pads, and replaced the rotors with duralasts. mine did it to. i am assuming judging from other people i have met with semi metallic pads that they all do it. i am planning on putting on some ceramic pads on my truck. they no longer squeek but the amount of brake dust is outrageous.
