Unhappy Brake Pad replacement

My 95' chews up brake pads like cheap 10 cent lollipops. The rotors have been turned and are good. Anyone know of a decent quality pad that can be bought to do some severe work. The truck is worked hard. I am currently replacing the pads about every 10 months. Ugh...
Thanks
Rick

What kind have you been running? I'd like to know to avoid them. However it sounds like the rear aren't doing there job, Have you had to replace them?
I put OEM pads on about 15,000 ago and inspected them this past weekend while painting calipers and I'd say the are at 90% still.
Good Luck.

The first few sets were from napa, they were their own brand. Then I went to their premium brand. THey are holding better, but still chews them up in about 10 months. I checked the rears and they are fine. So, I am looking to se were I can get Rabestos pads, or some good name brands... any ideas.
Thanks
