Question dash squeek

I have an annoying squeek in the center of my dash. i have pushed, pulled, bumped, hit, banged, jolted, and pounded on each part of the dash, and still it squeeks. I replaced the factory radio today, and with the dash apart, I still couldnt find the culprit! Good thing I put in a much louder stereo system.
Has anyone had a squeek like this and where did you find it? It makes my wife not want to ride in the truck, which isnt always a bad thing

Are you sure it's the dash? It may be somthing in the engine compartment. Dose it do it all the time or just when idleing or running hard? These questions may help isolate it down a bit. Go thru the truck and tighten down all of the screws that hold the dash down you may find some are lose if there has been any work done on the dash.
Your window vent visors may the culprit also.
When did it start making the squeek, before or after some upgrades maybe

All of the dash screws are tight. it is definately in the dash. This started 2 weeks ago, several months after the mods. does it 80% of the time!!!!!!!!

Got that same "rattle" on mine. I'm 99 9/10 percent sure its the hood rubbing against the weatherstrip on the cowl. Don't know what to do to stop it though.

I used silicone spray on cowl/hood weather stripping and it stopped it.
