I went to the EBC site and you provide a link to the Yellowstuff pads but there is a yellowstuff pad designed for Trucks as well, did you buy the correct pad, also EBC sells a pad designed for trucks here is the Truck Yellowstuff pad description followed by the Truck Yellowstuff Sport Brake Pads and Extra Duty Light Truck Brake Pads.

Truck Yellowstuff Sport brake pads are especially appreciated on Trucks for towing and heavy loads and where wheel and tire oversize upgrades have been fitted.
Truck Yellowstuff Sport brake pads are not rated as low dust but create lower dust to OEM pads. These pads are a full FMVSS grade higher in friction level than most stock pads and as such will feel stronger on the pedal after install and bedding.
The pads are also a race developed friction material designed for heavy heat and brake abuse. As an ideal upgrade pad when fitting oversize tyres and wheels, the EBC yellowstuff brake pads have been tested to destruction by the likes of
Randy Merritt of Mongo Racing in off road desert racing. For even longer life and load capability check out the new
Extra Duty ED series brake pads and now available through
Pep Boys and other quality retailers and
online sellers.
This is the brake pad you should have bought:

The UK
EFI Bristol factory of EBC Brakes has used new
ECO friendly technology to develop a brake pad that has unusually high friction levels yet still has good manners for street use with brake effect being strong from cold when the brake is first applied. The race pedigree of the material used also guarantees effective stopping up to temperatures exceeding 1400 F well above the maximum experienced in heavy braking, towing or downhill descents.
Winter testing in Ohio on a fleet five popular light trucks showed us the proof on cold braking in the worst wet and cold conditions where many performance brakes would not even start to show good brake effect.
So these are pads that have an extremely wide range of usability.
Towing with loads often pushes brakes past their factory limits, in fact have you even checked if the stock brakes on your truck or SUV are good enough for extended towing and hill descents?
The new carbon granule based EXTRA DUTY material is also extremely rotor friendly, minimal in dust and noiseless and each set is supplied with revolutionary
NUCAP piston insert shims, another first from EBC.
