Brake squeaking - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The front brakes on my 98 burb are squeaking. Here's what I've done.
I replaced the pads and rotors about 3 months ago and they were fine. I didn't spend for the top of the line stuff from NAPA but got the mid priced stuff as I usually do.
So they started squeaking when nearing a stop after about 1000 miles. Over the weekend I removed the calipers and greased the slides again. That stopped the squeak for a couple days and now it's back, Not as bad but it's back.
I did use the squeak stop spray and sanded the edge of the piston clean when I put the pads in originally.
Everything else appears ok, rotors are nice and smooth and no other obvious problems.
I'm not a real brake expert but have done many sets over the years and this one has me stumped. Any suggestions ?
