So I took it to another dealer. Turns out it's not the front wheel that is squeeking. It's the rear. The mechanic said that the rear caliper is seized and corroded. He brushed the crap off, re-lubed it. He said I still might get the squeaking sound which I STILL do. Is the rear caliper covered under warranty?

How many miles on the truck? If your still w/in your bumper to bumper than yes it should be under warranty.

Then yes, your dealer should of replaced your caliper since you should still be in bumper to bumper warranty.

Something everyone needs to check on squeeks around the rotors is the fact that small stones can stuck between the splash guard and the rotor. Happened on mine twice. I wound up bending the splash guards out a bit so as not to let the stones get stuck in there.

A pad that's a little loose can cause it to squeak/squeal as well.
