[DML] Re: Brake Noise PLEEZ Make it Stop!!!

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Before taking any drastic measures go to your local NAPA or other auto
parts store and purchase "Brake Quiet", follow the directions and your pads
should quiet down. This is only a temporary solution but should last at
least a couple of months. If you still have problems after this email me
directly for some other solutions.
