Door Squeak/Creak

Drivers door squeaks or creaks when opening. Makes same noise by grabbing the door and pulling it up or down. 11,000 miles on truck, started about probably 4,000 miles ago and gotten worse. Dealer replaced door check but didn't fix anything. I've removed door check and still get noise. I've tightened hinge bolts. lubed hinges, checked all bolts in the general area.

Anybody having or solved this issues?

I had a 2019 that did this, and my current 2021 does as well. Only on the drivers side, passengers side is quiet. I just ordered a new check for the drivers door to try it, only $26 on ebay. I have also lubed, and tightened all bolts and no change. I will say however, when I took the door panel off, and then the speaker and blasted penetrating grease into the door check throughtout its movement the cracking/popping got better for a while. Now its back.

there is a thread somewhere about inner door skin separation, and wedging rubber blocks into this area which is causing the noise. I have yet to get into the door this far.

It could be from the door seals/gaskets. I spray mine occasionally with clear silicone spray, and lightly coat all rubber seals around the doors, pillars, etc. Everything that's rubber gets coated, and then a quick wipe with a dry towel to remove excess and clean the dust/dirt. I do the same on the seals around the tailgate.
