Ok, this is driving me borderline insane. When I have my windows down I can here this squeaky noise that sounds like an orchestra of mice mocking my every existence. I wiggled the tail gate and seems to be coming from there so o used that spray dry graphite lube on the hinges and everything and it went away, for a week.... Now that it's back I took the tailgate off, cleaned the hinges real good, and tried installing F4 tape (any acft engine mechanics out there know what I'm talking about an maybe others as well) and I couldn't get the hinges to slide into the gate. So I sprayed it down with lube and re-installed. That was sat. Sunday te family and I go for a drive windows down and there it goes again. It makes my face twitch when I hear it argh!!!! Has anyone else had this similar problem? There has to be a better fix than lubing the hinges every day/week. Any help would be amazing!!!

Grease those rubber stop things also! I used some 5th wheel grease on mine and it stayed gone after that.

Good call, that is what I did too. She is all quiet now

What rubber stops we talking about here? And you put 5th wheel grease on the hinges o the tailgate?

Sorry it's dark but you can kind of tell. Those are what I put the grease on!

What about the hinges? Those too yes?

Mine was squeaking like crazy too. I applied a bit of grease to the pivot point and it's completely silent now.

I did the hinges too, but I think it was just the tailgate rubbing on those rubber peices that was makin the squeak. On my truck anyway.

Well, I lubed them all up. On my way to work I will see if I get a face twitch from the noise or not lol. Thanks all for the help and guidance.
