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.
