    I've had my 03 tundra for about 8 years and somewhere on the front of the motor something has always squeaked but it's gotten way worse by now. It only makes noise on rainy / snowy days when there's a lot of moisture. It will cold start and about 20 seconds later it will squeak like hell. It will squeak less the more you drive it. But on days where it's dry outside, it won't squeak haha. I've done the timing belt, water pump, and serpentine belt not terribly long ago and it's just made noise the entire time I've had the truck. My buddy has an 05 double cab that does the same exact thing but not quite as loud. Does anyone else have this issue with the first gen? What the hell is squeaking??
