Last week, I noticed is this really annoying metal squeaking coming from the rear passengers side seat area. You can hear it even with the radio at 12db. When I fold the seat all the way forward, it's not there. When I recline the seat (passenger side seat) all the way back the squeak is gone. It squeaks during normal driving driving (typical uneven roads, dips, cracks). I can't duplicate it when I got back there and try to move/shake things around.

I know I can take it to the dealer but I rather try to figure this one out. I don't trust my local dealer (won't let them touch it if my truck broke down infront of them). I'll only take it to another dealer if there is a mechanical or more serious issue.

I'm hoping someone may have or know of someone whose experienced this in a mega cab. I know I can't be the only one.

Thanks in advance.

Leftover pieces of the last Prius your truck ate for breakfast? I know, I'm helpful. You're welcome [emoji23]

I'm totally OCD about interior squeaks & rattles. Best method IMO:

1) Find the roads/routes/speeds that cause the squeak.
2) Have a buddy drive the roads/routes/speeds that you found in step 1 while you sit in the back seat and try to locate it.

Good luck & let us know what you find!

My RAM's build quality is . . . less than perfect.
