Well I took the truck to the dealership, for the noise we are hearing. And they changed the lower control arm. While driving home about 3 miles later the noise came back. So we are taking the thruck back in on Monday. BTW I took the passenger side caliber cover off just to be sure that I didn't do anything that I shouldn't have done and the noise still persist. I will post once they figure the issue out.
The issue was where in placed my floor jack to lift up the truck. I placed it on the Y or V shape bracket next to the tire, bending the bracket as I lifted it up. This was causing the noise we were hearing. It is a 400 dollar bracket from the dealer but they charged me 200 since I had to take it back a couple of times since they couldn't figure it out.

So in other words make sure we know where the jacking points are before we try this at home, right?
Thanks for the reply. I am afraid I may have done the same thing. I looked in the manual and I did not see the supposed jack point indicator, and I thought there was really only one point to jack from when I looked under the rig.
