    Can anyone tell me if they have ever had a chirpy squeak when going down a rough gravel road which does not seem to be related to suspension? Annoying, not terribly loud and difficult to find as it does not do it when bouncing the truck up and down. Only when going down the road.

    Does it on or off gas as going down what I call short choppys. Little bumps all over a gravel road, or freshly graded gravel itself as the truck kind of vibrates up and down over the bumps there is a squeak that cooresponds but does not appear to be in suspension. More a body panel or something?

    Haven't greased drive shaft yet. 5k miles but its good to note for this weekend. What are some of the other locations of grease zerks on these trucks? Nice to know a manufacturer still puts them in. Last few rigs I owned had none. Sealed units from driveshafts to ball joints!

    Didn't notice you have a 2015. But if you poke your head under the truck. You should be able to find a few zero fitting, i think the lower control arm has one? Might be thinking of aftermarket lca and uca. Drive shaft has a few.

    If you can get someone to stand outside and listen to where the sound is coming from. Front or back, then you can kinda target that area. Vs the whole truck

    Thanks for the advice. Ill look around this weekend. The squeak doesn't occur until your traveling down the road. Might just spray every body rubber bushing under there and see what happens
