The Creaking Bed

Nope, thought maybe it was the rear window of my cap but doesn't seem to be it.

 

Mine does it to, I do not have a bed cover or anything.

 

Have you had the dealership look at it?

The second video is what mine sounds like

 

No I haven't I'm not a fan of dealerships if I can avoid them I do. That second video is my truck. Mine only does it when driving, it won't do it when parked no matter how much you rock it. Next thing I might check is the exhaust hangers. Already tried lubing the the leafs and bed mounts.

 

Ya mines the second one too there’s a post about a guy titled 2018 recall or something on here. He had same problem dealing w dealership was bad he ended up trading in truck on dodge or something but they were about to replace his entire bed I haven’t seen anyone come up w a solution

I meant that it's actually my truck in the video lol I posted it earlier in this thread. I can replicate it in my driveway driving over a bag of gravel, I just have to get someone to stand by it to help pin point it or have someone ride in the bed. Definitely would not go through the hassle of replacing a bed or trading the truck because of it. It's only audible when the rear window is down and I doubt it's actually from the bed itself. I assume it's something underneath rubbing.

 

I am not going that route either hopefully one day we will figure it out

 

funny as hell

 

Hmm I've got the clunk backing up my driveway like the guy earlier. May have to look into that.

I've also got the squeaky brake pedal and the squeaky gear shifter, which bugs me.

 

Sounds like a pissed off squirrel

 

There’s a spring on the spare tire that dampens the tire load. Could it be that contracting and expanding against the spring pin?

 

I started using silicone spray on squeaky rubber and o-rings that need to be lubed before assembly a few years back. It seems the silicone wont expand the rubber like some other petroleum based products will. I had an in-line water filter i added to my house to cut down on all the crud entering my home, and made the mistake of covering the o-ring with petroleum jelly like i had read somewhere on the all knowing internet. The o-ring expanded by like a 1/4" by the time i went to re-assemble it. Live and learn i guess.

 

Here is my fix for the shifter squeak

I just wanted to report back that i figured out what my squeak was. I posted this video trying to figure it out.

Turns out that it was the latch posts for the window on my cap. Put a little tape around them and now it's gone. May have had something to do with how i adjusted them so that the window would shut tight since it was loose when it was installed.

 

Took my tundra in this week and totally forgot to mention the bed squeak. ‍♂️

 

I’m having the same sound at 72,000 miles
