Okay, new to the forum, and got a few technical questions

First of all I have a 2wd 1500, and I've been doing alot of work on my truck to keep it going, and I just recently replaced the top and bottom ball joints, the tie rod ends, and the front wheel hubs. I also got new shocks about 3 months ago. Now I have a really bad sqeak, and I think it is the shocks. What can I do? Can I tighten the top nut? Cuz I've tightened the bottom and it kinda helps. Is there a product I can use? I sprayed some WD40 up in there and it helped a while, but it always comes back.


Second question. Whenever I use my AC and drive alot, I will hear a gurgling sound near my passanger side dash area. I am guessing it has to do with the heater core or something. Someone once told me it was cuz I was low on Freon in my A/C, since that is near my passenger side, but I checked and it is full. Is this a small fix, like I am low on coolant? Or would I have to replace the whole heater core?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

Low on refrigerant.

 

With the A/C? I checked it with a kit, and it said it was full. In fact it said it was almost too full.

 

Hmm, I would check the condenser then and see if it is blocked someone and only letting a little coolant through.

 

okay thanks.

 

Shocks. Remove the shock completely and reinstall using silicone grease. Don't use a petroleum based grease or lube as it will eventually eat up the rubber mountings.
A/C. Gurgling after the system has been on a while but at no other time tells me the condensate is not draining. Try poking a small stick or pencil in the drain tube. The tube is below the pcm on the pass. side firewall; down low. It just sticks out about a half inch.
