Creaking

ive looked but can’t quite find anyone mention my issue. So I’m getting a creaking anytime Ill break kinda of hard and right before I come to a complete stop my front end creaks and when slowly pulling into my driveway I will creak but it won’t creak when going fast. Anyone experience something similar

 

I had some of that coming from the rear end and I just sprayed some lube on all of the leaf spring bushings and it went away. I think I’ve read there’s a TSB to fix this if it’s your leaf springs but mine hasn’t ever started doing it again in 15k miles so I haven’t bothered. But if it’s your front then I don’t know. Sounds like it’s coming from your suspension somewhere.

 

Are you sure it's from the front end and not the leafs? What lift are you running (front and rear)?

 

Yeah I had someone stand outside and it’s coming from the front and it’s pretty loud towards the front. I’ve had the leafs replaced and the pads from the TSB’s but I’m running 5100 and 886 and block in the rear but I’ve had this set up for a bit now and it wasn’t til yesterday that they started making noise

 

Try pushing on the front bumper near the front of the wheel well. The whole front plastic on mine was rubbing causing it to squeak like crazy.

 

Mine just started squeaking too. Seems like suspensions to me. Only hear it when I’m going under 20mph.

 

Try stretching? I don't think I experienced creaking til about 60. And at 64, it's no worse.
Good luck.

 

Yep. Tell your dealer and you get what I got. "These trucks just squeak" I showed them the TSB for the leaf packs and they said "Huh, I haven't seen that yet" When I picked it up. "Everything was tight and there are no TSBs for your truck. Nothing we can do"

 

I’ll try that!

 

Body Mounts can cause squeaks up front

Thought I survived the body mount issue but potentially not

 

It was upper and lower spring perches for me. I hit both coils at the top and bottom with Boeshield, was good for about a year. 5 minutes, good for another year. I would caution against using the bumper to rock the truck, pretty fragile. Use the rocker panel.

 

If it's the front, and you haven't jacked with it, have the dealer check out the front cab mounts.
