Rant: spent 4 months hunting a squeak in my old truck when it was an $11 part
My 2003 Silverado started squeaking every time I hit a bump and I replaced the shocks, the sway bar bushings, and even the cab mounts over 4 months of weekends, throwing maybe $600 at it. Turned out to be a dried out hood hinge bushing, and a guy at the parts counter in Reno sold me a pack of nylon ones for $11 and it took 15 minutes with a punch. Anybody else burn real money on a noise before finding the dumb little thing that was actually causing it?
