Squeeky parts

Welcome to life in a pickup truck! I'll never forget the sound of my old neigbors rusted out chevy full-size. The shocks were gone and all you could here was the suspension joints squeaking away. Evern wrinkle in his (gravel!) driveway resulted in a nother unique squeak..
That said, if you yank the steering wheel all the way to the lock it will make a noise. It's the power steering trying to force the steering past it's stop. There is a warning somewhere (the user manual?!) that HIGHLY advocates against holding the wheel in that position. If you are just cutting the wheel for a sec to park that's okay, but don't just hold the weel there while you just sit there..

hey guys, if you've had your truck off-road, (gravels, unpaved roads, anywhere where there are gravels, or mud, or dirt clumps) then it is very possible that you have some debris lodged behind the backing plate on your front rotors. It sounds just as you all described. Mine was so bad that when it first started i thought my wheel bearings were going out.
I suggest pulling the affected wheel off and checking behind the backing plate real well. Sometimes just pulling the wheel will help and you'll be able to see if there is anything back there.
