My 00 has it also. Comes and go's sometimes with bumps. At first I thought it was the front inner fenders but it still does it. I am gonna try the shift linkage with lithum grease hope that cures it. Thanks Tim

Re:Squeek on 01' QC Ram

One lube that works really well is BEL RAY chain lube for atv chains. that stuff sprays on in a foam and turns into a stick goo that flows for quite some time after that.

One other place on the quad cab door that causes a sqeek in the upperlock on the door. Wrap the steel bar on the roof with rubber electrical tape where the door lock rests so its nice and tight when the door is closed.



Good luck


Jason

Re:Squeek on 01' QC Ram

On another post on this site they said to take a punch and smack the sheet metal where the 3 pieces are spot welded. If you open the hood you will see the part I am talking about directly below the hinge spring for the hood. I am told these spot welds loosen up over time and by denting the sheet metal joints it will stop the sqweek. BTW I to have the sqweek, but have yet to try this fix.

Lube under the hood on the steering shaft where the 2 pieces come together. This fixed it for me. Also use a silicone (no petroleum) spray on your door moldings.
