    I had a squeak on some bumps which I assumed was my leafs. I hadn't gotten around to cleaning them.

    Doing the rear diff breather mod, I bumped the spare and found that the hanger was squeaking.

    Just wanted to share if you were looking.

    Crap. I bet that's what I've been hearing on mine. It's been driving me crazy! Thanks for the insight.

    working on it!
    OMG - I am going to check this today. First I'm going to try tightening the tire down. My truck is 9 months old and only has 3,600 miles.
