Chirping!

[Dan Martin]

This chirping noise is killing me! It has been nearly two years and the dealer never is able to “hear” it to diagnose. I have personally replaced the brakes and tried oiling the clips, done upper control arms, sway arm bushings, and billstein shocks. Chirp remains sometimes really bad sometimes not at all but it is nearly constant now. Not sure if the link to video works but please give a listen and any advice. I am beyond the point of starting to hate this truck because of this noise alongside all the other issues my older truck never gave me.

Also the noise is much louder than it sounds on camera, the phone is just picking up the road noise. Sorry for posting video twice. The sound cannot be replicated when the truck is in the air or parked by knocking around components with a rubber mallet or anything else.

My (and everyone else's) F-150 used to do that...
It was the tailgate latches, might check that out just to be safe. If you push on the tailgate, while it is closed, near the ends they will sometimes chirp as the assembly moves around.

I didn't hear the chirping sound you have concerns about, but one I found in my truck was the seat belt loop on the B pillar. When I moved around a little, the belt loop would move and squeak. I added grease to the rotation spot and also added a garden hose gasket to take up some of the slack.

I’ll try that out just appears to come from the front of the truck

That would be interesting it is definitely an exterior noise or component. Volume raised you hear it over the bumps

I have a 2020 1500 Laramie crew 4x4 and though I could hear on your vid I’ve had same issue {can’t hear on my vids and same chirp for 15000 miles now and I’m about to change my shocks and struts to try to eliminate it I have fox 2.0 front and rear since 40k miles and now have 110k so I’ll let you know if it stops

I had a squeaking sound coming from the rear of my 15 r/t plus challenger when i braked. Wasn’t a sound associated with brakes. It was a body mount rubber on metal sound.
Called the dealership i bought it from and they wanted me to pay a diagnostic fee so i said naw sir.
I lived with it till i sold it to some gypsies.
