The squeaking started a couple of days ago. It seems like the first time I move my truck for the day I get a metal on metal squeak. It squeaks in reverse and drive. My road is probably 200 yards long by the time I get to the end of the road its gone. I am not sure if it is the breaks, but I don't think it is. My front and rear brakes are new. Just looking to see if anyone knows what else it could be. I did a search and found that it could be a bearing, slip yoke, or a universal Joint. Let me know what you guys think.

Is it speed related?

It does go away if I speed up, But it only does it if the truck sits for a long period of time or in the morning when I leave for work.

So if you were to speed up, have it go away, then slow down again, the squeaking would reappear?

 

And just so you know, I have no clue what this could be. Just trying to collect information.

Possible leaf spring squeak?

 

That's kinda what I thought at first since I have the same noise, but he said it goes away if he speeds up. Wouldn't a leaf spring squeak get worst if you sped up and all other factors, i.e. road conditions, remained the same?

Yeah my brakes do that

they like set/hang up when they set for like a week or 2 and they make a squeeking and a metal on metal noise and it goes away by the time i hit the brakes twice once getting out of my yard and once in the street before i leave and then it doesnt make the noise anymore. I also have new brakes all around.

I also have new brakes all around. I put some wagner ceramic pads on. Today it only did it when I left this morning.

Yeah I though about that too... But he also said that its gone when he gets to the end of his road... I didn't know exactly what he meant by "his road". A lot of people have dirt roads and stuff like that. I dunno, I figured I'd take a stab at it as I have the same problem :thumbs: .

I have the same wagner ceramic pads. I dont know what rotors the local shop ordered them for me and just handed them to me. They are a real nice black hub and lok nice to the eye.

I think that is just a problem with ceramic pads. IIRC they make noise when they are cold, but after they warm up they are fine. I could be wrong, but I do know that there is some kind of brake where that happens. :thumbs:

I think I have narrowed it down to the front right side. If I have tomorrow I will take the wheel off and check out what's going on.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
