I remember someone posting a remedy for sreeching brake drums on the "old zone". Does anyone know what the remedy is? My truck sounds horrible when I try to stop it. Just another reason for a disc conversion....

One wheel or many?
There are many reasons why your brakes would make noise but the most common reasons would be metal to metal contact or vibration. If you were to remove your drum, I bet you would find your lining is worn out, a peice of lining has broken off or there is a missing retaining clip. If it were my brakes, the fist thing I would do is a visual inspection.
If the condition of the shoes and the drums look OK then what usually helps on my truck is this: Apply some anti-sieze compound to all the points where the side of the shoes contact the backing plates. Just make sure you don't get it on the linings. It should help.

Thanks for the info. I do recall someone posting the anti-sieze thing before, I'll try that today. my brake shoes are basically new with a fresh cut on the drums, so I know they are ok. Mike Petrus
