I've been chasing a super annoying squeak in the back of the cab for about a month now. Have had very few chances for someone to drive so I can troubleshoot.
It was a long squeak over the tiniest bump. Even stopping at a light, it would make noise from the body rock.
I started by pulling the rear seat and surrounding trim, tightened all the seat belt bolts, and rear window nuts. Nothing
Opened the rear pass-thru window and heard the tailgate squeaking. Score! Purchased Needa 38424 bushings from Advanced for $4. Fixed the tailgate, but the squeak persisted!
I finally got annoyed and started pushing on everything I could.
It was the lower weather trim surrounding the glass. I took a shot and assumed that there was some dirt stuck between it and the body, especially since all the glass bolts were tight.
So... the fix? I found a Velcro cable tie behind my desk that I wasn't using and ran it back and forth behind the trim. There was a surprising amount of crap back there.
No more squeak! My life is now complete. Hopefully this quick and cheap fix will help others from pulling their hair out.

Hmmm, you have reached rock start status! Tough, tough find.
