HOW do I stop my brake calipers from jingling like sleigh bells???

Drives me nuts, I thought it was loose center caps on the rims but I was wrong. Everywhere I drive my truck it sounds like I'm dragging a length of chain behind me...jingle, jingle... Anybody know how to stop the noise?

The outboard pads have two tabs that hold the pad to the caliper. Give those a whack with a hammer so that you need to use large channel locks to 'press' the pad back on. That should quite them some.
