This past winter I replaced rear rotors, pads, and E brake shoes. I drove it around and all seemed good. I towed my boat to the lake and when I got to the launch realized I didn’t adjust the slack back out of the E brake cable. Nothing bad happened, it just didn’t hold on the launch. When I left to go home I noticed a chirp or slight squeal in the rear. At first I thought it was the E Brake, but after I got home and hooked the boat it never happened again.
Later that week I went to Home Depot and picked up some paver stones, not a lot, maybe 250lbs worth. When I left the lot I heard the chirp/squeal again. I thought at first brakes because when I apply brakes it would go away, but I found it didn’t go away it just became less obvious.
When I got home I removed the pavers and adjusted my E Brake cable. The next day with a empty load their was no noise. Went and got mulch and about half way home it did it again. At this point I thought U joints. Bought 2 new U joint at the dealer and installed the rear one next to the differential because it was a SOB to get off the truck and was super tight and didn’t want to move without using a hammer. The front one seemed okay.
Drove the truck home with nothing behind me or in the bed and all seemed fine until I got on my street and the noise came back. I’m at a loss because it was only doing while under a load but not doing it empty. Any ideas?
