Default Squeak/chirping noise

Have a 2015 RAM 1500 express crew. Only 15k miles on it. Have noticed a squeaking/chirping noise while driving. To me sounds like it coming from drivers left front. Do have a rough country level lift kit on it. Have checked the spacer and it seems okay nothing loose or anything like that. Seems like the noise is less when braking. Any one have this problem or heard of it. Thank you

Truck is to new and tonlow of miles to be water pump. And how would a water pump be the cause of a squeaking/chirp from the front left and go away when braking? Had a 06 RAM that the water pump was bad on and never had any noise at all

You should still check those things. if it's new, take it in and use your warranty.

Brought it in to place I normally go they told me it was a "dry strut mount cap" or something along those lines. That was about 2 month ago they sprayed it and cap back 2 days later. Will be taking it apart hopefully next week to try and find it. Was just looking for a place to start or if anyone else had this problem

Don't understand why you are taking things apart on a new vehicle with a warranty. Make them fix it.

Have brought it in told me that it's 100$ fee to figure out the problem and if it has anything to do with level kit the warranty is voided.

Well, with that info not provided then, I guess you are in your own.

Is it a constant noise? Pulsing? Only happens when you hit bumps? Explain the conditions you're in when you hear the noise, it might help others understand the request a little better.
