I may have commented that engine vibration can trigger the chirp. It is not engine related because I can trigger it by rocking the truck with engine off. Sounds like metal on metal, emanating from the upper rear passenger area. Almost as though the the source is in the B pillar.

Unless they came from Steele, don't count on them. Chinese rubber garbage disintegrates if you look at it sideways. Seriously, rubber parts rotting on a vehicle that has never been on the road in less than a year after installation is a story I've heard more than once.

So it wasnt the column? The bolts being tight mean nothing if the rubber bushing wears through it will be chirping metal steering shaft sliding in metal clamp. The cab does move a lot and the steering column cant move at all since its solid mounted to frame.
