So I've got this new to me '05 w/ only 30k miles on it and it has one hell of a annoying squeak when on a bumpy road / pulling in the drive / anything to abruptly unsettle the truck or when the engine does it's little shake when shutting down. It's coming from the firewall area, I am curious if anyone has an idea of where I should start looking. It's definitely not coming from in the cab and the strange thing is, it is more pronounced when the truck is hot.

TIA, Eric

 

I have an upper control arm that squeaks every bump I hit. Get under the truck and bounce it up and down and see if you can isolate the noise. I had to loosen the control arm bolt to make my noise go away....

 

I have a feeling it's going to be hard to replicate in the driveway, figured I'd ask before I start going nuts looking for the noise
