Popping and Squeaking Noise under bed?


Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone is hearing a popping and squeaking noise under the bed like a bad leaf spring. My truck only has 700 miles and started making this noise if on an uneven surface or any flex is put in the body. Took it to the dealer today and the shop foreman heard it and decided to keep my truck to investigate. I saw a Few threads on the internet about grease or rubber installed between the leaf springs near the end. I am not overly concerned just pissed that I am without my truck.

I certainly hope they get ya sorted out.

I cannot say that I've heard anything like that. 

And, that's not to say that I wont. Just hope I dont. Everything so far, so good.

I get a noise coming out of my driveway or hitting a bump. Had it since day one. It’s usually while turning out of or turning in my driveway slowly. Dealer tried to say exhaust hanger was off but it still does it. It’s not bad and surprisingly doesn’t bother me much yet

I’ve seen at least 3 people on the Facebook group have their leaf springs or bushings replaced over the squeaking noise.

On the 2019? My dealer called yesterday and said my amp power steps are rubbing the frame bracket slightly when retracted.

Since I bought my steps at another shop I am going back there so they can look. Maybe grind off the tip of that bracket? It is strange?

Your brackets are in the wrong set of holes. They need to be moved forward into the next set. The instructions clearly state “second to last set of holes.” There is miles of clearance from that part of the frame in the correct set of holes.

The circled holes are the ones you are using now, which is wrong.

Yes, on the 2019s. Move the step bracket first but if it persists, take it back.

And the steps will close and clear that bracket well?

Yup, they are closed in the picture. With the bracket moved forward it is not even close to the part of the frame your steps are hitting.
