Squeaking from drivetrain? Haynes or Repair Manual?
I have an 03 Chevy ext cab long bed 2wd and one i first start moving i get a squeaking from the driveline. I had the Guys at Eastern Offroad check into it when the replaced the stock shock with some Bilesteins and they said it was comming from the driveline... Any thoughts? Also is there an aftermarket repair manual for the Duramax? i didnt get the specific diesel book when i bought my truck from the dealer? Thanks

Could be as simple as a dry u-joint. You can pull the 4 bolts that hold the driveshaft to the rearend, pop the driveshaft out and move the u-joints around and feel for any rough spots. Pull the 2 caps off and see if they are dry or is the needle bearings are messed up.
*Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing from my previous post, the center piece that attaches to the frame crossmember is the carrier bearing. That rubber around the driveshaft is very common to come apart and start making noises. Just make sure it's not worn OR looks brand new. Someone may have just replace it (or even the u-joints) and may not have done it right.*
Can you bounce up and down on the rear of the truck and make it squeek?
