Yeah, puzzling indeed.Hi Justin,
A brake shield will sound like a scraping, not a squeak but it is worth checking. Unlikely in my opinion to be your concern but what it is I can not help.... I do not normally recommend stuff but if your parts stores, Murray's, Autozone etc had belt dressing for the drive belts, you might try to see if the dressing addresses the squeak. Normally drive belts will squeal, not squeak. Suspension components are more prone to squeaking, but squeaking suspension is usually easy to duplicate in a static condition by bouncing the truck by hand. Very puzzling condition....
Best,

I checked the back cover as best I could and I really don't see anything wrong. I may just have to call Belle Tire and have them check their work. Like I said, this only started happening after the tire/rim. I really don't think it's a belt, but ill give that a shot. It seems to be directly related to the truck moving, but with that being said there's no reason why it would always stop about a mile or 2 in and never come back until a period of rest. Stopping the truck will make the noise go away, but if it'll just come back until it decides to go away on its own. Truck is 100% regular over bumps, cornering, full-lock, 4x4h and reverse.
I'm running out of ideas.
