Brake pad recommendations?

[yzf128r]

Hello everyone, I have an 08 4wd dually and I'm in need of brake pads. I just turned 62k miles, so it's deffinatly time. What do you guys recommend? I'm looking for something reasonably priced that won't squeal as much as the factory pads. I have searched and it seems like a lot of guys run EBC pads. I have used them on motorcycles for years, but never on a truck. Which is a better choice...... Green stuff, yellow stuff? What kind of results have you had with these pads, and what would you recommend? I don't do a lot of towing, but I do haul a 10,000# camping trailer 10 to 15 times a year with an average distance of 250 miles per trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

I'm disappointed to hear you need brakes already. I've always gotten over 80K with an exhaust brake and towing.

Really? I thought I was doing good. Lol. I bought the truck with 30k on it, so who knows what the previous owners habits were like? Hopefully I get 80k or so out of my next set. My exhaust brake is always on, so it shouldn't be tough to see that kind of mileage.

i have factory pads and i love em. they stop the truck very well even with 37's. mine do not squeal at all. Did yours squeal since you got it... maybe their not factory pads. I got my front pads for 52 bucks from dodge, cut the rotors and put em on very simple.. a blindfolded monkey could do it. the miles you get on your brake pads obviously varies on how you drive and where. the guy that gets 80k out of a set might do more hwy miles than you. 62k if original is very impressive considering what they have to stop.

EBC yellow stuff front and rear if you don't mind a little extra dust on your rims.I have 20's and 35's and haul 3-5 thousand lbs in the bed almost daily and they stop on a dime,did squeak a bit though during brake in
