Dakota SLT 3.9L

Bought the truck new in 2002 and had never had the brake pads changed and they were starting to squill so I took it to the brake shop and they ended up replacing the pads, turning the rotors, rear shoes, flushing brake lines, new fluid. About a month later, I was running late for work and was driving kinda fast and braking hard at times. When I got to work and parked, the brakes were smoking bad like they were on fire. On the way home that day I could tell something was different in the way they felt. Took it back to the brake shop when I had time and they looked at it and said that the pads definitely show signs of getting hot and ended up replacing pads and cylinders. They never locked up on me but after reading this site, I'm going to be more cautious about it.
