New Truck Pics and a Question

Hello!

Finally took some pics. Had the truck about 6 months, 3k no problems. Other than I wish I woulda got a short bed.

Don't plan to do much as far as mods go (offical mod whimp here). I did replace the factory 20s for some 20 x 9 aluminum rims (had powder coated black) w/ nitto terra grapplers, and ordered the cheap plastic black grill to replace the chrome one.

Question: Has anyone noticed a crrraZY loud! squeak coming from the back when the rear window is open? I can't for the life of me figure out where it is coming from.

Great forum! This is my first diesel, and it really has made the transition easier and more fun.

Thanks all!

Best,
chance

Nice Truck! Does your truck have an AMP Power step? If so, check the e-Break cable when the door is shut on the driver’s side. You will need to put a rubber tube on the cable where it hits the step. I had the same problem and it took me hours to find out where the squeaking sound was coming from.

No AMP Power Step...

Suspension: never thought of that–been so focused on thinking it was window related. I'll drive around w/ another set of ears.

Had the bed line-x'd w/ all bolts removed, wonder if it could be the truck bed...?
