Default Squeaking and no Low beams

Hey everyone. I recently traded my 05 1500 in for a 01 1500 Sport Quad Cab 4x4 5.9 and I noticed when driving that there is a loud squeak in the rear end when I go over bumps, even small ones. Any insight as to what this might be? also I only have day time running lights, park lights, fog lights, and high beams. I am thinking the actual headlight switch is hooped. Any insight? Truck was previously used to pull a fifth wheel. Thanks for any input.

The bushings in the leaf springs make a pretty good squeak when worn. I'd check those.

Thanks bud. Also I'm believing that the Low beams/ DRL's are 9007 and highbeams are 9004. I put a new bulb in the passenger low and I had low beams last night but tonight I got nothing. Any ideas. Wiring?

So now I am getting worried. When i turn on my High beams all 4 lights are on but my low beams do not come one in either light. yet my DRL's do. Also from having my lights on for maybe a minute total my battery drained. And i pulled out my headlight switch and it sounds like there is some loose parts in there. Help!!!

Are you getting power and ground to the low beams

It's a sport ram though so it's the quad lamps and the DRL's are the same bulb... oh yeah different filament.... anyways, yeah i tested it with a test light and both lights connectors had power on all 3 pins
