I had to replace my F150 Pads at 23k. The ones I put on have lasted a lot longer though..

doesn't matter it is what it isJust wasn’t expecting that with 26000 miles on them since I purchased it
Well I would expect these parts to be top notch considering they are original OEM.I've had cheap rotors last a week. They warp and gall. Metallic pads are often harder than the Chinese pot metal used in the twenty dollar rotors and they end up looking like yours. A healthy rotor should almost look polished and shiny. Looks like you have some garbage parts there. I've seen plenty of those before I wisened up and started paying for the good stuff.
Jack up the wheels and spin them to see what's going on. Pull a tire and take a look. You could have a caliper sticking or a bad pad. And next time buy better quality parts, they will certainly serve you better.
Thanks for the help! I’ll see what they look like early next weekWow, that's OEM stuff? I suppose Ford is using a metallic pad, and I've seen metallic pads treat rotors that way. I prefer to use ceramic ones for that reason, though I'm told the stopping distance is better with the metallic.
Of course check the pads, as one caliper may not be sliding and one of the pads is worn way down. Make certain the calipers can slide on their pins; one may be frozen. But I've also seen brakes behave that way that still have life in them. That's some aggressive wear on those rotors and combined with pads that have become grooved or worn, they can make noise.
I've had combinations that lasted less than 30,000 miles on my 2000.
Be careful with the slotted/drilled rotors; some use pretty cheap castings. I had great luck with DBA rotors on my Excursion. They were the only ones that didn't warp in a week, though I don't know if they make a rotor for the Expedition.
