Who knows brakes?

[Keith Seymore]

If the truck is stopping evenly (not pulling to one side or the other), and you are happy with the deceleration rate, then I wouldn't worry about the braking performance.

Squeals and noises may just be part of the package with the compound/formula they chose. Did they come with any type of insulator on the backing plate?

You could try adding a slight bevel to the leading and trailing edge of the pad if they don't already have one. Most auto stores also sell an adhesive in a tube to help with brake squeal. You could try that as well.
