    took the truck to the dealership and told them I'm hearing a rattle/squeak from the front passenger wheel, they took it for the day and told me they couldn't hear anything...of course!

    So I'm hoping one of you guys out there can tell me what you think it could be.

    It's definitely not my leaf springs, it sounds more like a rattle ( like change rattaling in your pocket ) and it could be from the suspension too.

    When ANYONE takes their truck in for a noise or "feel" issue, I recommend ALWAYS letting them know when you schedule the appointment that you want to have a tech or service manager ride with you. This way YOU can drive the vehicle and be there to call out the symptom so that they cannot deny it.

    Next hurdle however is getting to an answer other than "Oh yeah, it's normal for the vehicle"

    If you haven't picked it up yet tell them you want to ride along before you pick it up.

    Lift up under the fender well and pull the body up and down. Hear anything? Open the door and stand on the door panel. Rock the truck up and down. Also push down on the front left corner of the truck rocking the truck.

    If you hear anything take it back and reproduce it for them and tell them to inspect the body mount bushings.
