44magnum you running the Superduty pads or the LTS? Since you have that big trailer I think you will say SD but just thought I'd ask

So you are using hawk pads with stock rotors?

Just go back with new motorcraft heavy duty pads. I wish I had.

Which pads are you using?

The most expensive Napa pads and they squeal like a stuck pig.

NAPA sucks, don't touch their **** with a 10 ft pole. Hawk and EBC are on totally different levels than NAPA's junk.

I'll just be going back with motorcraft. I got 100k out of them and thats going to be hard to beat.

I had problems with sticking calipers, went to an aftermarket rebuilder and has been fine since, the Ford pads are lifetime warranty after you buy the first set, easy money there
