My area of knowledge is not LSVW or brakes in particular. But, if the European version of these trucks don't squeal like (insert your favourite unkind phrase) - what did Canada do differently? As little as different pad compound or as much as completely different brake system from the axle mounts outward? Is it possible that a solution to the offending noise might be as simple as changing over to European pads? If so, it might improve driving pleasure without making a visible change to the truck. Would doing so invalidate approvals to drive on Canadian roads? I don't know but would be curious to know the answers.
