Clutch problems

Installed a new clutch in my 1988 F150 about 15K ago. The throw out bearing just started squealing. Anything advice to prevent this from happening again, since I will be re clutching the truck again. The last clutch was a new kit from NAPA manufactured by Zoom clutches. The truck has a 300 six with the Mazda 5 speed.
Thanks

My only recommnedation would be to buy a Luk clutch kit.
They are factory equipment for all fords.
Even the torque converters have Luk dampers in them.
I'm not impressed with the Zoom clutches i put one in an escort a few years ago and the same thing happened.
The throwout bearing started squealing.

did you change the throw-out bearing when you changed the clutch?
