Time to create your own thread. This thread is about coolant.

It can be lots of things from Sway bar links to the Velocity joint in the front driveshaft. We need more info on your truck, Mileage? 4x4? DRW? SRW? and any mods if any that were done. I had an intermittent squeak and it turned out I had a bad U joint in the front shaft.

I had hamsters in my rear springs.
I was right around 403k miles and the squeek started at Bastrop State Park.
Nickmike gave me some s&w teflon gun lube to do my 1911's while i was bored at the park...
It leaves behind like a dry teflon film...
Didnt have time or extra cash to get replacement springs... and since they arent sagging and feel fine... why not try it?
That stuff wicked its way between the springs and like magic the squeek was eradicated.
Been a couple months and she still not squeeking.

or if it is the front it could be the spring isolators, I have had to replace mine twice in 380k.
