    I was having a squeaking/chirping sound at low speeds in drive and reverse, so I did a lot of digging through TW and checked a lot of potential causes. I checked u-joints and greased them, checked carrier bering, checked serpentine belt, check pulleys and tensioners and nothing fixed the annoying low speed squeaking. While i was checking a tensioner I happened to look down past the manifold on the passenger side and noticed a mount/hanger for the exhaust just before the catalytic converter was rusted off. I climbed under the truck and shook the exhaust and heard the annoying squeak. I got a steel hose clamp put it around the exhaust and snugged it tight to the hanger/mount point, guess what.... no more squeaking/chirping!!!!

    I thought I would let TW know as it might help someone pinpoint a squeak/chirp.
