Bad Brakes or Bad Caliper?? See Pics
I bought these E-Line brakes and put them on a month ago... This pad is chewed like cheese on a cheese grater.. I had issues with this Right Rear brakes and pads before, but not like this..
Should I ask them about warranty? will they laugh and say I have bad caliper??
Otherwise, this brake system stops 10 better than the stock system!! Thumbs up to brake power

X2, and another way to check for sticky caliper on the truck is to take a nice long drive, and coast to a stop not applying the brakes. Hop out with your infrared thermometer, and "shoot" each disk. You would expect about same temperature on each axle, side to side. If not, why not? Also, forget rebuild of calipers, once the bore is scored it is toast.

before you go spending money on a caliper check the caliper glides are working correctly. you should be able to collapse them with your finger and they should spring back out. If you have a frozen guide pin that is exactly what will happen to your brake pad. PS your rotors are chamfered as they should be.
I can show you a picture of a pad that looks exactly like yours, the caliper caulked and the top of the pad wore down to the metal and the rest of the pad looked new, even had the same damage at the top one inch of the rotor.

This is a complete set-up with pads
I assume that they would not sell me junk pads to have fall apart quickly.. Here is the set I bought
Front Rear Kit Eline "Drilled Slotted" Disc Brake Rotors Ceramic Pads R111019 | eBay
And I will add another picture that will show the inside pad on that rear brake and it is in good condition...
