Weird chirping noise
I tried but it only happens after 30min of driving. I put it on jack stands when I was getting the squeeking noise. Put it in drive and nothing. I sprayed the hub and the drive shaft with lube and it went away. I should have just sprayed one part instead of both. I'm an idiot! I will have to wait now for the squeek.
Im getting a random off and on chirping as well and it sounds like its coming from the front drivers wheel but im not 100% certain that is the pin point location of the noise. Worth noteing that my power steering pump is bad and squeeking up a storm and alot of power steering fluid has overflowed from the reservoir and made its way down onto the front drivers wheel area. Is it possible that the PS fluid may have seeped into the sensitive componets of the wheel bearings and is causing a chirping noise? Or could it just be my wheel bearing starting to go?
What are some things I can do to test out my wheel bearings? I dont think its my driveshaft because I have a aftermarket fully serviceable shaft that has been greased. I do have a rough ride at 70 MPH though - always have even before I replaced the driveshaft. Any thoughts about the wheel bearing or wheel hub?

Try putting the Transmission in "N", jacking up the pass side tire, and spinning it as fast as you can. If it's the drive shaft you should be able to recreate it. It helps if you get a helper to spin the tire while you are under the truck looking at everything.
While the tire is off the ground grab it on both sides and try and move it around. Then grab the top and bottom of the tire and do the same thing. Is there any play in the tire?
