Hey guys i have some questions. my door panels creek and squeek every so often when i hit the littlest bumps and its really annoying. I also noticed as of late that the dash board on the passenger side is starting to squeek and if u hit the top of it with ur fist a few times it will stop for a little while then it will start up is there anyting i can put in there to stop the squeeking or can i tighten anything up?

Can You move the passengers corner of the dash up or down? Check if the bracket under the corner of the dash is broken. If so fix it, that might stop the squeek.

i have found that after fixing my broken dash mount, i heard a lot more little squeeks that were being covered up by the loose dash. my fix was to buy a new cd player.

Amen quicklook. I had the broken dash, fixed it, and now I have a louder noise on the drivers side. I just crank the radio up and accept that the truck is old and has a lot of miles!

I have a 93, and use to have a lot of the same problems with squeaks in the cab. I took a Saturday afternoon on a warm day and tightened and replaced most of the plastic pins (for the lack of a better word) that hold up the door panels etc. I also took the door panel off and tighened every bolt and screw that I could find. It's a lot of work, but worth the effort in the long run. Checking all the under days mounts and screw is worth while as well. Hope this helps
