I looked on search and could not find anything, first for the brake pad : It's my front right brake pad, it has this rotational clicking coming from it, i cant for the life of me figure it out, it clicks from going all the way from 5mph to 70mph when road noise takes over, when I take the brake pad out, and reseat it, the clicking is gone but comes back after a couple hundred miles, I ground off all the weird edges on the pad with a die grinder, and it still clicks, any ideas? worn guide bolts? I cant even figure out what down there could even cause a clicking noise. Second, I know ive seen a fix for the clicking brake pedal, but I cant find it. When you first depress the pedal it makes a sharp click noise, and not agian till the pedal reaches "top dead center" and you depress it agian. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

For me, clicking noises have always been loose pads. Are they seated tight? Perhaps the spring steel that prevents rattling is loose/tired. Usually a new brake pad solves the problem.

I had the clicking pedal, theres a switch down there.
Either the cruise switch or brake light switch, put your head under the dash and you'll see it.

Depress pedal with your hand and put a drop of 3 in 1 oil it and it'll shut up.
Easiest to do while its running (power brakes)

I have been chasing supid noises in these trucks for too long.
