I recently changed the brake pads on the vented front
disks on my (Mitsubishi) Dodge D-50.  Being somewhat
environmentally oriented and maybe somewhat more
conscious that I would most likely be the one to
change them next time, I spent a couple of dollars
extra for asbestos free, non-metallic pads.

Up until then, I never got squeals.  With the new pads
in place, the front disks immediatly started squealing
when the brakes were applied, generally at all speeds
and most conditions - dry, wet, whatever.  Nothing
changed once I was past a reasonable break-in period.
The only time they won't squeal is after they have been 
warmed up by several consecutive stops.

I have tried washing with brake parts cleaner and IPA,
to no avail.

Has anyone had a similar experience and solved it?
