I just put em on my 2002 Durango, after machining the rotors... and the squeal started 3 days after putting the pads on!

Perhaps your car was not designed to have this kind of brake pad without changing your rotors as well. Not all rotor metals are compatable with after-market pads. Some rotors are deliberately made out of softer metals or alloys to prevent noise, but only if you are using comparable (factory material) pads.

As Pilgrim said earlier you can purchase CRC Brake Quiet at NAPA, Auto Zone and Carquest. It's a high temperature silicone compound that eliminates brake pad harmonics and vibration (squealing.)
Pull the calipers remove the pads and clean the steel sides with CRC Brake clean. Coat the steel side of the pad with a minimum thickness of .090 with the orange/red colored brake quiet. Let it dry for 1/2 hr. Put everything back together and start smilin! No More Noise!

I would re-machine the rotors and put some ceramic pads on the vehicle and make sure you lube the caliper slides, make sure the pads have shims, and torque the wheels afterwards with a torque wrench.

Wasn't there a little squeeze tube that came with the pads?
Sometimes you get it, and sometimes they don't give it to you.
It's anti-squeel compound.
You'll have to buy some if it didn't come with the brakes.
Lay a line of it on the back of the pads when you put them in place, and it defeats the squeel.

If they're brand new pads, they might be going through a break-in period. I'd give it some time.. if it doesn't get any better.. I'd go back to where you got them and give them the what for.
