Easy fix.keep your windows up

I Been Doin Scince 08' hehe

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

How to turn a 30 second video into almost 11 mins of wasted time.

[@XloccGIGATT]

Holy shit I was thinking the same thing 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@texasmike7994]

That ain’t no shit, even better, how bout we go park in the back 40 in 3’ weeds, smh

[@stephenguenther3455]

to all you WD 40 users on here - STOP THAT! use a silicone spray ONLY in this application - all you need to do is spray the bushings - not the metal. While you're at it spray the front bushings on your coil springs. Use SILICONE only - WD 40 is petroleum based - the bushings are petroleum based - thus - WD 40 will eat them - might as well put paint thinner on them.

[@jmillie9556]

You got it ! Good information there!

[@nyxzus]

Not just a chevy thing. Gease works better than wd40. However, I was able to fix mine permanently by jacking the rear of the truck up & taking a big flat head screw driver & wedging it under the tip (end) of the leaf spring pack (top two) where the clamp is & inserting a rubber/polyurethane piece I cut the width of the leaf spring about 4 inches long. Did this to both ends on both sides. Been over a year & not a squeak. This info is vague, however there is a write up on the GM forums somewhere. Mind you this particular truck of over 10 years old. But will work on any leaf springs.

[@clay727]

it took my dealership 4 times to fix it....lubricated them 3 times, and finally they just replaced my leaf springs about 2 weeks ago.
truck has 16k miles

[@abcastillo3123]

What was the cost of having it done??

[@Ivan-jc8hr]

Nice truck man! I got the same issue, how long did it last without the squeak after spraying it?

[@brandonjones952]

Bro what is your exhaust set up? That sounds perfect. Right now I'm running a flowmaster 10 series but it doesn't have that growl yours has

[@chanceivy3332]

I work at Chevy dealership they change the plastic insulators to rubber on leaf springs

[@StudCity718]

Mine squeaks when I'm just driving. Don't even have to hit a bump. Doesn't squeak when I turn. Just when I'm just driving normally.

[@landonpickle2514]

such a clean truck. love all the builds

[@7juaninho7]

DUDE MY 2007 CHEVY HAS THE SAME SQUEAK WHEN I GO OVER SPEED BUMPS OR LITTLE DIPS ....I THOUGHT IT WAS CUZ OF THE LEVEL KIT OR 3 INCH LEVEL KIT

[@CoinGYPSY]

DUDE! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR VIDEOS ON THIS FOR-EV-VER! YOU'RE THE FIRST TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT IM DEALING WITH. THANK YOU!! Cringy is an UNDERSTATMENT. And yah. All caps cuz I'm that excited.

[@jeremygroznik297]

Nice Truck! How have those tires held up? Any cupping?

[@tobymanuel5786]

I have a 18 silverado too, it's was doing it terrible. Took it to the dealership to get it addressed and to my surprise they admittedly said it was no good and ordered new leafs, u bolts, etc. So far it's quiet since all was replaced. (Side note: had read online prior to taking my truck in and seen the "fix" was basically packing the leafs with grease and was worried they'd do that to mine, but they actually did right and replaced everything instead of putting a band aid on)

[@Cmerk01]

So glad you made a video about this I've been looking all over chevy forums after I just bought a 2018 Silverado with 15k miles this past week!

[@Ls_swap211]

I did a add a leaf to my 2016 and it started doing the same squeak but once a month I have to spray it with wd about 2” area where the springs end tips touch

[@fern13nando76]

My lifted 2013 Silverado keeps squeaking over bumpy roads, should I just spray the leaf springs or anything else.

[@larrylucas5731]

Chevy has a recall on this issue. I took my 2016 in for the same problem and they fixed it. (service manager said they had fixed 5 that day for the same issue.) Replaced nylon bushings on leaf springs.

[@ecaptain76]

On what year vehicles???

[@thomasyounger7907]

I literally almost traded my truck in because of the squeak. Chevy actually has a bulletin out on this though and the local dealership was able to replace the bushings and haven’t had another problem since!

[@nathanh4381]

I have the same problem, dealership told me it was cuz i oil guarded the truck that it caused that, was like wow thanks for the bs 👍

[@cinder9950]

I painted a scrape on my control arms with spray paint and noticed the paint ate away the wax undercoating, I wonder if pb blaster would do the same.

[@sjm07400ex]

Awsome video man my 16 Silverado is squeeking when I turn the wheel at slow speeds u had the rack replaced about a year ago thru dealer cost me thousands now squeek is back I gotta spray it down I hope it not a bad steering rack again damn thing was just replaced 10k ago.. btw what kinda rims are those ?

[@FordFan8691]

get you a nice thick wedge and a hammer, i know you got one, and cut you some 2"x4" rubber spacers with a pair of scissors. rubber dont need to be but a 1/4 inch thick. split the leafs with the hammer and wedge, get them spacers in there. front and rear, both passenger and driver side. obviously just the leafs.
thank me later
p.s. use some white lithium greese not pb blaster

[@ehderguyyashootadeerorno2313]

I just installed 1/4" thick rubber between the leaf springs. Cut it to 2 1/2" wide and went full length of leaf. Made a huge difference.

[@MrBlakemajors]

What software do you edit with? Thanks

[@jmillie9556]

What do you do for a living! Looks like you doing pretty good!

[@jimsemii852]

Nice truck and your dog having a grand old time back there. lol

[@reddhazlight1496]

Yeah my truck does the same it’s a 16. And my paint chips so easy too.

[@cgwjy122]

What tonneau cover do you have? I checked videos and didn’t see that build?

[@justingarcia6897]

5:20 dang it smells freaking good 😂😂

[@cumminspower2878]

Im gonna use this method on my bed

[@Jdelatore87]

Love the truck I've got the same all star edition in black. My question is now with 9k miles I'm getting stabilitrack issues/power steering assist reduced message they say is from the leveling kit. Have you had any issues from yours? Thanks

[@michaelmorgan7086]

I had that issue. It was my ball joints going bad. So I got a new lift with upper control arms

[@Jdelatore87]

@@michaelmorgan7086 Ok thank you I'll look into it.

[@Gmny1MOA]

My 2019 started this at 20k miles...I used blaster...worked for a week or so at a time...used red grease...worked for like 2 days...wound up ordering a "spring thing" kit wich is rubber peices to go in between leaf's and it has finally stopped

[@arseneaufamily1096]

This common problem is being caused by automatic car wash which adds Armour all the tires but it sprays the springs as well and causes squeaking go to a self-serve car wash and a high pressure wash the springs problem solved if you like this and it worked send me 20 bucks ha ha.

[@randysutton7812]

Good theory. Gonna try this. Just rolled 8k miles on my AT4 HD. Wonder if this could be the culprit for the annoying break squeak I’ve been experiencing as well 🤔🤔

[@wyatttucker9773]

Some paint matched tow mirrors with smoked lights would look so good on the truck

[@ismaeldelrio7633]

I had the same issue but I seen a video to put rubber pads in front and back of leaf springs

[@thomasprimus221]

I love your tires ready to get them

[@diegogarcia-hd7bg]

what’s the tire and lift specs on this stage of the truck? ?

[@rosales817]

How long did it last for you ?

[@apg0014]

what lift are you running bro?

[@sergeantseven4240]

I have a noise like that but ive pinpointed it to the lower front ball joint area. I tried greasing the zerk but its still make that noise. Mines way louder though...

[@SwapPartLLC]

I have a similar squeak, but mine goes away like magic when I turn the music on.😂

[@hunterswart7698]

What kind of exhaust do you have under it?

[@kart_racing8566]

What Exhaust set up do you have love your rig !!!!

[@jdp8502]

True dual cat backs no mufflers

[@davidacosta4765]

How did u make your headlight strobe

[@darrylhoward7556]

What exhaust do you have on there? Sounds amazing

[@joelanzo3054]

Really tho

[@kadencurrie9475]

Sometimes that squeak can be caused by the u bolts not being tight enough.

[@hugekozae3549]

I have a 2000 Chevy I had fleet side bed never squeak but then I change the bed to a step side bed and I started having the squeaky problem .. don’t know what it is

[@shawnnoll7025]

What exhaust do you have? I want mine that loud on my 15 Silverado

[@jacobivy2854]

That is a temporary fix. Toyota has the same issue. They usually replace the bushings or add rubber pads between the leafs.

[@highintentionz0024]

I had the same squeak on my 2017. I put a shim between the leaf springs in front of the rear tire and the squeak went away

[@Rayavalosmar]

Do you have more info on this bro?

[@JoeMama-tl2yy]

What kind of bed cover do you have?

[@thomasprimus221]

Where did you get your tires I love them

[@BattleBorniZ]

On a different topic, does anyone noticed air hissing on their passenger rear door side when driving with windows up?

[@johnturner2632]

what exhaust setup do u have

[@ATVtherapy]

Thats what i used and fixed my squeaking

[@Mikey-wf9py]

My 2004 Tahoe squeaked same noise 250,000 milesnothing broke drove it like that for years I guess these new ones will break though

[@M1MCKay]

Same shit on my truck, almost traded it in because of the squeak. I just spray it with WD 40 every month or so now.. annoyed

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Don't use regular WD40 at all. Use the WD40 SILICONE spray. Or any silicone spray.

[@danielhernandez9086]

hey man, love the videos just wanna know what type of tires are they? or whats the name of them.

[@A4Eaton]

Daniel Hernandez Atturo Trail Blade MT

[@sawyercutrer3494]

I have the same problem on my 14,only weird thing Is it’s coming from the left front end,not the rear end at all

[@joelanzo3054]

I have mine coming from the right front end did you figure out the issue

[@yzrider00]

All you gotta do is spray wd-40 on the front and back eyelet not the leaf's. The bushings in the front and back of the leaf's dry out

[@gabeblair3948]

I tried that and it still squeaked hit in between the leads and it was solved I did some research on it and from the factory in the sericoat that is a pre lubricant in the paint or at least for my yota

[@user-hw2dc6hh8v]

Where you get your tail lights from

[@floresruiz3260]

Thanks for the advice my truck is doing the same noise!

[@vincemussurici6878]

Same shit on my 16 sierra. Has 34k miles and dealer put new springs in before 10k. Sick of spraying lube on it every week.

[@enriquepalomino8636]

My 05 duramax does the same on the front end and I can't figure out where its coming from. I have oiled and greased everything on the front end

[@jesseloricco6434]

Need to grease the tie rod ball joint with needle

[@joseturcio361]

take it to ur dealer. mine did the same and the u bolts by leaf springs were the cause. just needs lubricant and retightenen

[@sjm07400ex]

What kinda rims r those?

[@akclan33]

My 2003 Silverado just started making this same exact noise

[@akclan33]

Quick update on my ordeal I found a can of lithium spray in my toolbox sprayed all the leaf springs and now the noise is completely gone

[@jacobparker6735]

I have an 09 it’s my first truck and the squeak is just getting worse now, it seems some days it’s better than others believe it or not lol, drives me nuts

[@huddiezilla6643]

Lol u said I shouldn’t be spraying it everywhere, all well I’ll clean it up! That’s what got u in this mess

[@haydenreyes4621]

My 14 recently started making a creaking noise from the right rear. Could this be a common problem

[@haydenreyes4621]

@Adrian Brown Lee damn ok thank you

[@johnbrianneary8844]

Its more a creak than a squeak...and its the same I have!

[@codegaming_yt7704]

I jusy got mine what you do

[@johnbrianneary8844]

Eventually it was missing rear gearbox support nuts. Had my ATF changed and they missed putting them back on!

[@MrCaddillacMan]

Will WD 40 work

[@Builttolastdenali]

How did you color match everything?

[@MrJugg101]

When i brake or go in reverse

[@jimyounger9490]

Dang , there’s the Chevy shake , and now the Chevy squeak. After I bought 5 new GM trucks , I went to Ram. I was sick of the stupid little wheel openings ya have to deal with when ya lift em. Ram has their quirks too though. Ya really notice this when your going down a bad road about 20 miles an hour in a quiet neighborhood. Ya can hear it like 3 houses away , lol. Yup just squirt em now and then

[@thatoldshitbox]

Rip Babysquat 😥

[@jayozzman2909]

Ticks were horrible this year…

[@skinnygeeks]

Trying not to hate and nice truck by the way, but did you really make this video just to show off your ride

[@dallasdelano8235]

Mine kinda squeaked too, I just sprayed the leaf springs with wd-40 and it went away.

[@moonlalune8003]

Be careful, wd 40 is a penetrant not a lubricant. I might make more harm in the long run.

[@kizmet32]

T t t t todaaayyy Junior

[@t3ll673]

Do a 50% windshield tint on this truck😊🤘 she purrrty.

[@chubbzy24153]

I have a 2021 2500 z71......6k miles......annoying squeak from front drivers side over manholes/potholes/shitty roads

[@kevovek76]

My 17 was doing the same. Took to dealership they said GM knows about the problem. They say the bulletin says for them to remove the leafs pressure wash add some (special) grease they use. Said isn’t a lifetime fix but are not replacing the springs at this time. Not sure if it’s a dealership thing or not. Mine hasn’t started making the noise since but still waiting for it to come back. Only has been 3 weeks.

[@tonysbaby2005]

Did the same thing to my truck and it came right back.

[@kevovek76]

Tony Gravois yes it came back within a week. After the 6th visit they finally got the ok to replace the spring, shackles, and U-bolts. Have had back for three weeks or better and hasn’t made a peep!

[@jarvisblack7894]

Not my truck my mother in law truck is making that sound

[@brendanokeefemusicalruda6780]

Might want to check yourself for ticks look where you’re standing meatball

Sound like a real city slicker with that comment lmao

Welcome to the ANNOYING TH-camR'S CLUB. Those who ssttrrreeeetttccchhhhh what should be a 2 min video into 10 mins or more. OMG!

[@triplesixone615]

Now wash it or first rain and the squeak will be back 👎

[@spring-thingllc8342]

I got fed up with all the squeaking and clanking noises on my 2017 sierra so I designed a product to fix it. Takes about 15 minutes to install and fixes all the noises we have been dealing with on these trucks. Check it out at www.spring-things.com

[@nickmarkin7635]

Ordered mine a few days ago and they are on their way! I have a 17 Denali with only 25k miles and it just started doing this a few weeks ago. So annoying that even on a top of the line truck I have to add an aftermarket product to fix what GM can’t do. Hoping these fix my problem

[@ILikeSkulls666]

The “Chevy squeak” isn’t a thing. It’s the outcome of ignorance, anyone with a REAL truck will tell you that.
And that’s not a truck, it’s a purse 🤷‍♂️. A truck gets muddy a purse don’t. Sorry glam boy but it’s true

[@travistroughton5976]

Stop talking about your truck and tell us about the goddamn problem
