Don't worry; that was on the '05 I traded back in December. Someone else gets to listen to it now.

Here's a real easy fix that works 99% of the time.

Take your truck out on an empty road, get it up to about 60, and hit the brakes as hard as you can. The squel is caused by a buildup of brake dust on the pads. This action breaks it up.

Try it, bet it works !!!!!!!!!!

The H2 along with my Z06 have this same issue...... after 50 miles my wheels would be nearly black, when I put the CCW wheels (polished alum) on my Z06 I added ceramic pads along with cross drilled rotors.... No more squeaks or dust.

On the H2 I have not added ceramic pads as the dust/squeal issue is not nearly as bad, every other time I wash it I take it to one of the high powered spray pressure washes (do it yourself place) and clean the wheels/rotors/pads really good..... this eliminates any squeal that I had.

I have 114,xxx miles with the factory brakes and pad remaining. I have not experienced any squeaking.

put it in reverse get going slow and hold down the brakes and give it gas at the same time and go a about 200 feet. It reverses the glaze a bit and almost always takes the squeak away.

You need to use the red caliper grease on the back of the calipers.

IF you have heat glazed the rotors and pads already you will be liveing with that squeeking for ever. new rotors and the propper GM spec pads and a good cleaning and lubeing of the calipers is the answer . every time you cut the rotors you make them thinner and more prone to over heating and warping . rotors will take 1 cutting and still be good at disapateing heat after that the secound cutting will work but they will be too thin to properly dissapate heat . you could get a couple of cans of brakekleen and some caliper grease and clean them and see what happens ,it cheap enough . and it may help if it's just a build up of brake dust .
