Ok This is going to be a strange one. I have a squeek that starts about 20mph but does not seem to change with speed above that. it is like a bird chirping and "chirps" about every 1.5 sec. Seems to come from the passenger side but I have tried for months to find it. Cannot really tell if front or back - my kids in the back tell me its loudest in the passenger rear?
ANY ideas would be investigated.
thanks

I am still struggling with this. HAve greased, oiled, and cussed everything i can think of. HAve driven with friends in the bed to try to locate it. Seems to be geeting worse or more pronounced. I am now leaning towards carrier bearings, have oiled then from the outside with penetrating oil and maybe saw some difference. It is coming from the back of the truck but is very strange. Any other ideas?

You might have something there. Drop out the driveshaft along with the carrier bearing, rotate the u joints and see if they feel stiff or you see any rust looking residue around the needle bearings. also, spin the carrier bearing by hand and see if it feels rough or stiff, if so , replace it. good luck and keep us posted.

I have lubed the tailgate - still have the squeek. Lubed the carrier bearing and still have the squeek. Will try the water hose idea.
If this is the carrier bearing - how hard is it to change at home? Was hard to tell from the TSB.
thanks
