like the title says. when i lift the throttle, as if to coast while in gear, i get a chirp chirp chirp or squeak squeak squeak from under the truck--assuming its the clutch. changes with truck speed not engine speed. only does it when coasting forward or driving backward, so it is a directional thing. coasting in reverse while in gear does not produce the sound, nor does accelerating forward while in gear

im assuming its a bad bearing, but would like to know more



yes i have too big tires and a stupid .355 rear end. i try to go easy on the clutch. 60k miles

 

Sounds like a TOB.

 

yay. thanks for the hasty reply

im planning a hemi swap for the future, maybe the future is here

 

No time like the present!

 

 

The rattle / chirp at idle is often the PCV valve. Though on most 5.7 hemi the PCV is in a place (behind the throttle body) that any sounds from it should not eminate far. Perhaps check where it is on your charger and if it is right up at the firewall, that could be what you are hearing. Other things making chirps and squeaks are related to the serpentine belt. Bearings in the tensioner idle wheel, alternator, other.

Sounds like you just need to spend some time under the hood look and listening.
