Try this. With your truck in park in your driveway, turn your wheels from hard right to hard left. If you hear the squeek, it's your connecting arms or upper and lower ball joints, you know the ones you can not grease.
Purchase a hypo-grease needle and go thru the rubber and fill the joint with grease, did mine over a year ago, no squeek yet.

Secondlythe Ram leaf springs squeek when dry as well. Use the hypo-grease needle again between the leafs, by prying the springs with abig old flat screw driver and inject the grease between them, no more squeek.

Another common one is the slip joint in the steering shaft and also the automatic shifter linkage. Spray some white lithium grease in the rubber protector on the steering shaft and also spray lube all the pivot points on the shift linkage.....

I spent several hundred dollars replacing parts trying to find my 'squeek' and it ended up being cheap garbage brake pads from AUTOZONE. If you bought any parts there, I'd check all of them first.
