I have a 2013 scab with a stock suspension. For the past 6 months or so I noticed a squeaking noise somewhere in the rear of my truck when going over little bumps and driving on rough roads. I shook my exhaust by hand and played around with my tailgate to try and make that sound. Neither of them did. So what is it? Has anyone else had this problem and found where it's coming from?

Do you have a hitch receiver? Do you leave the mount in it? If so ... Either remove | lub' it.

If not ... lift the rear of the vehicle so that the springs extend. Spray between the leafs with silicone spray.

And ... As long as you're there spray all the suspension and exhaust system rubber bushings, grommets, etc..

I had the same issue. It was a high pitch squeaking noise. It ended up being the tailgate. I opened the access panel and tightened/pulled the green rod connector a little bit and that solved the problem. Hope this helps.

does it squeak if you stand on the rear bumper and bounce it up and down?

I have that same problem i took it to my shop foreman and the only thing we found is that they rear bushings on the leaf springs are starting to crack. I have been looking for some poly urethane bushings but i have been unsuccessful.

I would have guessed tail gate but you said that was a no go.
