Chirping like a Cricket
Been a while since I was here, but big red lives on! (Well at least the engine and tranny does!)
Truck usually sits for the winter, so I fired it up the other day and took it for a spin around the block. No problems until I drove it 20 miles this morning and it started chirping like a cricket from what sounds like the front drivers side. It got steadily louder!! The noise goes away when I hold a left bend or turn left. Haven't had a chance to really check it out yet. Doesn't chirp when sitting at idle, only when running with the tranny engaged or disengaged. I thought it might be the brake back plate. That would be the best scenario!
Can anyone shed any light from a similar experience?

I might have thought that too but I'm getting no vibration through the steering wheel. I'll check it out though!

I just want to add: I had a bothersome intermittent squeaking sound that I thought was coming from under the truck. It turned out to be a loose bolt holding the passenger seat to the floor. The seat mounting point was moving against the steel floor causing the squeak.
