A shot of lithium grease will cure that ... ... ... ... . I'm bangin on 350,000 miles and I brag on the relative low number of squeaks and rattles. Carpet and leather still look choice as well.

My truck has 73,000 miles and the drivers door handle squeeks when opened.

Mine just turned 78,000 yesterday and only one little bird in the dash somewhere on nasty washboard roads. Not too bad for a truck that I know was beat on off-road before I bought it.

My 04's only got 57K on it and it a rattle box. I'm sure the stacks had a little to do with it:-laf Trucks towed some serious weight on some unforgiving logging "roads". Snow plowing, 19. 5's, i'm pretty satisfied about the overall build quality of this truck. Frame rust is whats gonna kill my truck one day.

Do they still use salt on the roads during the winter.

in MN it's a mix of salt and sand. . I'm not sure what's worse, being sand blasted, or salted (and a little salt blasted)

 

[trqmnstr]

My driver's seat squeaks as I'm driving. Anybody know how to fix this? Just blast everything with WD-40? I don't want to make a mess or have to smell it?

 

[MRosinski]

Out in northern IL its just salt, southern WI uses a mix of sand and salt. The mix sems to be harder on trucks.
