    So I bought my first tundra back beginning of March. Absolutely love it. However a couple months later I noticed a squeaking coming from underneath the hood I checked a few things out myself but found nothing. I finally brought it in to the dealership they had it for three days and told me they found some loose a/c brackets and the windshield wiper motor was loose claimed the squeak was gone so brought it home... that night squeak was back :mad:. Brought it back in today and they found the emergency brake line and something else close together but apparently they couldn’t hear it at all so they’ve kept it for another day. Very frustrating. Sorry just venting :D

    I had two annoying squeaks that took a while to track down. First was the vent hole on the windshield washer reservoir. It squeaked whenever I shut the passenger side door a little harder than normal. I used a toothpick to widen the hole slightly and it was gone. The other were the radiator mount pins. I added some teflon tape around the pins and that's been silent for about a year now.

    Ok good to know. Ya I just hear it at slower speeds. Sounds like something is loose a metal on metal squeak.

    So after over a year of hearing the annoying squeak. It’s the skid plate. Dealer installed nuts between the skid plate and sub frame. Still makes noise. I’ll be installing some rubber washers. Thanks southwestGA.
