Finally, This squeak has driven me to hate the truck how can I spend so much money on something and it sounds like I got it from a junk yard. I originally thought I was fighting 5 squeaks in different places so I decide to dynamat the entire truck 8 cases total down to every interior panel an the squeak was still there but the dynamat help me to fine tune my ear to where the squeak was coming from. I always said that it was coming from under the left side of the dash by the bottom of the a-pillar but it sounded like a suspension squeak sometimes or a back door squeak or a seat squeak. so I was cleaning the windshield on the passenger side and I put my hand on the hood and it made a squeak like noise but not the same a what I hear day to day. So I pop the hood and my dad and I notice that the hood rest have been touching the hood and waring the paint of so we use the silicone stick on them but that doesn't stop it so we lube the gasket in the back that doesn't help and then we decide to tighten the 4 hood bolts and spray some zep lube on the backside of them and WOWOWOWOWOW no more squeaks at all the truck is entirely quiet not a peep anymore its amazing that 1 squeak could make all that noise. so if anyone as squeaks from that area give it a try.

I've got a squeak comeing from what I thought was the passenger seat.... So a couple hours later tighting every nut, bolt, screw that I could find and the same squeak still radiates from the cab.... Don't we just the undiscovered squeak.

do this test stand on a ladder on the passenger side and place your hand on the hood in front of the passenger side wiper blade arm and with the ball of your hand press downward you should hear a noise different than the one you hear in the truck it might take moving forward or backward on the hood or even changing sides but thats what I did to find it. have a friend stick his ear by the driver hinge and you should be able to hear it. I think the hood bolts take a 13mm or 14mm socket.

I telling you I thought I had squeaks all over the truck and it was in the hood hinge and it radiated all through the cab.
