so why again were you doing this if you still had some wear left?
In am still on mine original pads at just under 55K miles

Brake Squealers Update
I did not know how to update the Title so I did this. Sorry in advance.
Well, luckily I received the pads saturday and had ordered them wednesday. I slapped them on and brakes feel good. I used the Hawks Super duty brake pads rather than the basic ones.
The OEM pads were I would guess 1/2 used. I checked them when I got home from dealer and they looked worn out. I checked to see what the new pads looked like once on the truck and due to the way the calipers are set up it I could not see the actual pad itself.
Looking at the oem pads it is raised in the center part but I think once you wear it down to even with the lower level it might start squeaking b/c the material looks like it is softer or something. Might be wrong.
Here is a picture of the two pads.

I do not know if it is b/c of the superduty pads that it had padding all the way across rather than only in the center like the OEM motorcrafts. Truck does feel like it is braking a little better though. I tow a travel trailer and boat and both feel like the weigh over 10k lbs.
I did not replace the rear pads b/c they look like half used and those pads I can see while on the truck.
