    No answer to my question Snowmang? lol Like SkyHighTacoma said, it is most likely squeaky leaf springs. You can learn to live with it and it may go away, buy brand new leaf springs, or try this process I wrote up for another member with the same problem. Here it is, If you decide to do this make sure to think safety and use common sense.

    All you have to do is lift the back of the truck up, take the biggest screw driver you can find and pry the leaf ends a part one at a time, there is a small white plastic silencer pad in between each spring. Take them out and clean them off and than put them back in and lube them up with as much grease as you can. do that to both sides and it will never squeak again.

    I have had this problem many times and have a quick easy fix. Every time it has happened to my truck it is from the clip on the leafs holding them together is either dirty or needs lubrication. I have used many of things that have not worked for example WD40, Silicone worked for like 4 days and it came back. It may sound crazy but I use to race dirtbikes so I had alot of chain wax laying around and back when i used to race chain wax lube anything and everything and got rid of any squeak. So I thought what the hell worth a shot. I put chain wax on both clips on each side and the squeak has not come back ever since and this was like a year and a half ago. And when mine squeaked it was so bad that when I got out of the truck it was making noises like monkeys were having sex in the bad of my truck. Give it a shot but its not uncommon for leafs to start to squeak over time.
