In the last couple weeks my truck is squeaking, sounds like its coming from the shocks or somewhere around there. Do I just need to grease something or what? Thanks in advance.
You work under your truck while only being held by a jack at the trailer hitch?Squeaky rear end fix: (takes 5 minutes or so)
1. Put floor jack under trailer hitch and jack up truck...not to where the tires are off the ground, but just until it takes the pressure off of the leaf springs

+1 on thisSqueaky rear end fix: (takes 5 minutes or so)
1. Put floor jack under trailer hitch and jack up truck...not to where the tires are off the ground, but just until it takes the pressure off of the leaf springs
2. Take a hammer and a big flathead screwdriver and wedge open the leaf springs about 6 inches from the C clamp thing that holds them together. There are two on each leaf pack, one in front and behind the tire.
3. Cut a bicycle tire innertube into four 4" strips and place the strips between the leafs where they touch each other at the C clamp. Do the front and rear on each leaf pack.
4. Do the other side.
5. take jack out from under truck and enjoy your squeak-free ride.

If you're only supporting the rear of the truck by a jack at the hitch with it lifted over 12" (springs unloaded) you can get seriously hurt if it slipped off the jack or the jack fails while you're working on the springs.he is not lifting it off the ground... he means for you to unload the springs.
Well if the squeak is coming from the rear inside your truck, then lube that crack. :lol:Sorry for bumping and old thread. My squeak seems to be coming from inside the cab. Either the roof or the top of the dash, I can't really tell. I have noticed that is worse when I am going up a hill (paved.)
Thanks in advance.
