i've almost come to realize, that squeaks and weird noises are normal in these trucks...at least in mine it is. it used to really bother me until i realized there was no use in tracking down every thing lol. it would take me years.
ditto, my cat's shield is rattling, im thininking about cutting it in half to stop the noise

I looked for it. Can't find it. That's why I was asking. Thanks to those who didn't give smart ass replys. A friend said it might be the gas tank rubbing under the cab. Has anyone had that problem?
The gas tank is mostly under the bed on my truck. I have a squeak coming from under the dash by the gauges. Drives me nuts and finding it is impossible because it only does it when the truck is moving and I can't drive and look at the same time. I put in a good stereo system and just crank it so I don't have to hear it, but I sure would like to get rid of it.

To the OP: The gas tank is on the driver's side, so I wouldn't think that that's your issue. Like post two said, (work through that jack ass reply) you might try spraying joints and bolts down with some kind of oil and see if you can find it.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
it may be the pivot point on the seat, or the rubber pad under it rubbing the metal. it could also be the mounting tabs on the back of the seat that go into the back wall on the cab.
if it is just from behind you and you think it may be from outside the cab then i'd say drop the spare tire and take it for a spin, then take the tailgate off and take it for a spin. both of those can squeak. the spare tire fix would be to tighten it up and the tailgate would be just to grease the pivot points.

It could be coming from the tailgate. All the 2nd gen rams I've ever driven (including mine) have worn out tailgate hinges which causes the tailgate to move around a little. Replacing the little rubber pads around the tailgate always took care of this problem. Go for a drive with the tailgate down and if the squeak goes away, there's your problem

I don't have a rear seat obviously, but I do have a squeak that drove me nuts for months. One day I took off and forgot to close the tool box mounted in the bed. I didn't feel like stopping to close it and voila, the squeak was gone. It is the hinge for the lid, I never lubed it up , so it still does it closed. But, doesn't bother me anymore because now I know what's causing it. lol
Don't be an ass.
