Remove front rotors (assuming they are disc - can't imagine they are not) and have them resurfaced at any local shop. Apply anti squeal adhesive to the backside of the brackpads (and shims if they came with them).

It sounds like the brake pads are metal to metal, when you turn the flexing of the wheel makes them touch the rotor and grind. This can rarely be caused by a badly worn wheel bearing as well, have both brakes and wheel bearing inspected.
First check and make sure your battery is good, your battery cables are snug on the post, you have a good ground and if needed clean your battery posts. Next check your alternator....if the alternator is going bad it will make your truck act "possessed". I hope this helps. Good luck!
hi there i think you will find that the clutch reservoir is the same as the brake one have a look at the brake reservoir for a pipe leading off it to the clutch pedal area.
If you are positive everything is bled out perfectly, it's possible that there is too much runout in the wheel bearings in front and they are pushing the pads back too far.
Does it feel solid after they are pumped up once? Another possibility is that the adjusters are not coming up in the rear brakes, and the springs are pulling the cylinders back too far.
first check the clutch hydrolic fluid. If it's low or leaking, it may not disengage the clutch completely causing the disk to drag (and smell) The knocking sounds like you're loosing the thowout bearing and/or possibly the disk (there are cushion springs that may have come out of place). Take it to a transmission shop that does free diagnosis. anything other than fluid-related is going to be pricey.
