I've developed the infamous groaning noise when I'm backing up.
Does it in the morning when the truck is cold, and only when backing out of my driveway, turning the wheel.
I read that this could be fluid related or axle bearing.

Could this also be the rear brakes?

I hear a slight skeaking as well when backing up or driving forward. But it only happens in the morning!

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

 

I don't have that trouble in the mornings, I back in at night.

 

Everyone likes ***, but no one likes a smart ***!
Just kidding,
That would be an easy fix, but I fear that the rear brakes may be dragging, or something of that nature.
Not sure where to start rippin' apart, so I figured I'd get some hints from others that may have found a fix....
Thanks

 

I hear a lot of groaning in the morning myself. Oh, you meant your truck . You mentioned turning the wheel. Is this a power steering issue? They'll groan when they're low on fluid. The cold may make it worse.

 

The sound is definitely coming from the rear of the truck
I did check the power steering fluid though. It is full....

 

Has the front end been lubed properly, some of these oil change places say that they do a lube job but they don't get it in the fittings they just squirt it on the fittings.

 

mine was the emergency brake. I had to get under there and adjust it. You know the e-brake is drum right. That should fix it up perect if its the problem.
