Anybody else with squeaky rear brakes?
Only got about 2,000 miles on mine but if I start to drive and use light pedal pressure it squeaks real loud in the rear brakes. I'm sure it's the metallic pads and probably rust on the rotors. just wondering if anyone else had this. I'm sure a change to ceramic pads would probably cure this.

I get a little squeek pulling out of the driveway first thing in the morning. It clears up by the time I get to the end of the street, but it is loud enough to notice.

The noise is probably a result of contamination, spray the caliper and pads out with high pressure water thoroughly and then apply the brakes aggressively several times in rapid succession from at least 45 MPH down to 0.
I'd caution against installing ceramic pads on the Tahoe, they are quite but do not offer the same stopping power as the OEM semi-metallic pads for this heavy vehicle.
