Greetings, I have been hunting a intermittent light squeak, now getting less light for about a year.
I have resisted taking out my dash, although at first i thought it was coming from there.
Now i have noticed this light chirp can be heard not only in the cockpit ( it sounds like it moves across the dash ) but also when i stick my head under the drivers door.
The 97 JGC is in park on a concrete floor, it sort of sounds like it might be coming from the forward transfer case area.
Since it is in park, does that mean the u-joint isnt moving, when i am driving i have noticed ( after spending time driving slowly around the neighborhood that turning seems to affect the "speed" of the chirping.
I am waiting for the spring to take a serious crack at this, but i have been hunting it for a year, at first i thought it was behind the dash, but it was very intermittent to start but now is more steady.
It also shows up more if i have a passenger in the vehicle.
This group has seen just about every ailment ther eis, i dont want to take it to the stealership until i have diagnosed the problem, and can direct them as to which part to replace.
Any tips appreciated.
thx, james
