2005 Dodge Ram 1500
5.8l V-8
Squealing noise when I reverse, also when I accelerate. Brakes squeal loudly when I stop. Changed Back brakes, they were bad, should I change the front as well, could this be the cause of the noise?

 

Welcome to DF.

First, before anything else, please read this:

I will move you to the 3rd Gen Ram section (2002-2008 Rams).

 

Sounds to me like your muffler bearing is bad. Jk. Yes, it would be a good idea to change the front brakes as well.

 

How come you didn't che

Never mind, let the 3rd gen guys have this one.

 

check for raccoons in the cab.. they can squeal.. and do it before it 'lets one fly'.. the smell can be horrific.. or, so I'm told..

 

LOL, And if that doesn't help, replace the front pads that have wear clips on them that squeal when they get worn.

 

Thanks everyone...I did get a good laugh...Front brake pads changed today...still squealing...sqeals when accelerating up to about 25 mph then stops...its loud? Any other ideas, Was told it sounds like a rubber squealing noise..lol I have no idea...Just want to be safer than sorry.

 

Does it squeal the same if you accelerate slowly versus hammering on the gas pedal? Or what about just revving the engine a little bit while in park (just to eliminate the possibility of the belt or pulley squeal). So it only squeals on acceleration only correct? If you speed up to 15 and maintain that speed would it still squeal?

Oh, just thought of something else, check the front brake dust shields to make sure they aren't touching the rotors. That happened to me last month when I put new rotors on.

 

ok. When I reverse slowly it only squeals a little, when I put it in drive and accelerate it squeals loudly until I hit abou 20-25mph, then no squeal and does not squeal again when stopping only accelerating,and its definately not a belt. its like a squeek squeek squeek. Thats the only way I can describe it, also told it sounds like rubber rubbing together.

 

Dose the squeek go away as you turn the wheel???
