    Hey guys,

    So this is probably a silly question but when I went to get into my truck as soon as I sat down I heard a clicking noise that would go away after a few seconds. The only thing that's changed since I drove it was it is really cold here and in the low 10 to 20 degrees. I drove in the rain/snow on Sunday, so maybe it's just cold or frozen?

    Thoughts?

    I don't understand. Is it your seat clicking? Engine? The door?

    Seems like the suspension, or the seat I'm not entirely sure

    This is when the truck isn't on. I was just wondering what might be making a clicking noise when I sit down, hasn't done it before

    Might be your leafs if it's your suspension. Use some WD-40, it always fixes everything :D

    I haven't tried it yet but I discuss it with someone that http://wd40specialist.com/products/white-lithium-grease/ would be better for the leafs. Gonna find out sooner or later.

    WD (water displacement) anything will work. it's just the little bit of moisture freezing and cracking when you add weight
