I've read back as far as I my eyes will tolerate and have done a search for "squeak" through the search tool. Apparently, the solutions for the squeak are so far back, the results of the search don't have them.

I, too, have the dreaded cab squeak when moving. My father has three Gen 2 dodges and would probably buy me Sugar bowl tickets if I could fix this dreaded noise.

Is there anyway the squeak fix, since it seems to be such a common question, could be reposted or put in the tech facts?

Thanks folks.

i have it too. still havent figured out exactly from where.

seems some people's squeak comes from the transmission shift linkage (i think ). i soaked mine pb blast and that didnt solve it. ive heard its doors so i did the same to them, still nothin.

know how u feel though, very annoying noise

 

I suppose you had no luck with the search? :- I've considered a much more powerful stereo system to eliminate the aggravation. ;D

 

quantrill--I see you have a toolbox. I had a horrible cab squeak and I thought it was in the cab. I greased all of the doors, checked under the rear seat. I ended up putting some WD-40 on the latches of the toolbox and all ceased. Now i spray them down about every other month.

 

matt - thought bout that and have sprayed all the hinges and such but i just put that box on 2 months ago, ive had the squeak almost since i bought the truck.

tigerfan - "I've considered a much more powerful stereo system to eliminate the aggravation. " my system and the straight pipe are the only 2 things keeping that squeak from driving me insane

I had a terrible squeek on my 01 6 speed, found it was the cubby/stash/compartment below the radio. Took mine out and put two sided tape around the opening and on the panel--no more squeek.

I did read something recently about some factory spot/resistance welds that were breaking around the "A" pillar, or door hinge pillar...This sound possible????

 

I know I have the "squeak" as well.

I figured out it wasn't engine/trany?/drivetrain related
by coasting down a hill with the engine off and windows
up. It ALMOST sounds like a swaybar/lower/upper arm bushing, or a metal on metal. But I can jounce the truck roughly in the front and rear and can't duplicate........

When you think it would squeak, it doesn't and when it does,
you will be driving straight, level with no bumps!

maybe it is inside the truck....

the search begins....

 

"When you think it would squeak, it doesn't and when it does,

EXACTLY, ill be driving on a relatively flat straight road and the squeaking will go nuts >. i really dont think its anything in the drivetrain either. really sounds like its from the doors, however i have soaked every area i could think with pb blast and it still squeaks...... :

 

My rig is still under warranty...I wonder what they would/will/won't do......... I';d sure as heck think
they've seen this before...........

I also want them to make sure I have the latest software
for the trany....but that is another post......

 

I too had this and this is what I found on mine. It was the bed mounts! I tighned em up a little bit and no more squeak!
Just the dang brake squeak. "BUT I WILL NOT CHANGE THEM UNTIL THEY WEAR!" :-

 

Humm....

Metal on metal! that would make sense too!

Just typical frame flex and mine does sound like it is coming
from the middle of the cab or rear.....(thus the trany mount was a consideration at one time)

Thanks 02DSLDOG!!!

Yeah, the brakes.......I just started stoping later and less babying them )

I found my squeak - it was the upper control arm bushings. I had a hard time locating the squeak, but could actually feel the squeak when I placed my hand over the control arm while a friend was rocking the front up and down.
Good Luck

Did you read thru this thread?

I'm going to look when it gets a little warmer out. :

 

Well one of my other squeaks/rattles turned out to be the plug going into my rear-view mirror. It squeaks and every so often i will push it tighter into the plug
