Anyone ever heard a noise coming from the back wheels (or just the back end), when the brakes are applied that sounds like birds chirping or a squeaking (i.e. like the springs on a bed in a cheep motel). It's in a DII'01 with only 4000 miles. |

No. Nor are there any small mammals stuck under the hood. I'm pretty earth friendly. i.e. Save the mammals, shoot your mother-in law. But the squeaking is driving me nuts when I before I come to a stop. |

my brakes squeal off and on all the time. i forgot to slap some anti squeal on them last time i replaced them. bad garrett! can be pretty common for squeaking.......but bird sounds?
may want to get a "if this trucks a rockin'....don't come a knockin'" sticker for the back. just in case you are not telling us the truth.

Perhaps bird sounds are not the right way to describe the sounds. It's definitely not a typical break squeal. Especially with all of 4000 miles on the truck. It occurs when you're coming to a stop and the truck is sort of swaying side to side on uneven ground. |

Garret,
I assure you if it was a "rock'n" from some "boot knock'n" I would know it was the HD springs. |

Maybe the bag of dead squirrels stopping the roof rack noise isn't full of dead squirrels. |

Go ahead and pull off the rear wheels. I'm sure the problem will be self-evident once you are in there. Most probably a rock wedged in there or something similar. |
