Thumbs down Help! Cant find this damn noise!

My truck is driving me nuts with this sound. Its makes a chirp over every bump in the road almost... last time it was my tailgate....but I greased everything on it and its still doing it.

I tried parking it, and pushing on it side to side, as well as up and down on both the front and rear....not a peep from either end. I cant tell where its coming from very well...it sounds like its behind me...but sometimes I cant tell at all.

how can I figure this out? What else could be chirping like this?

Are you sure that it's coming from the truck?

Hire a midget to hold onto the frame as you drive around?

Check your rear shackle bushings! They might need a little WD-40...
