Squeak in cab

Hey all, I have a Squeak somewhere around the right side rear seat when I go over bumps. I don’t drive this truck much (wife’s truck), she says it’s been doing it since we got the truck new. I tried bouncing on the seat, banged on everything including the bass box and cannot duplicate it. There is nothing in the floor storage bins or under the seats. Any ideas on what it could be?

It’s a 2022 Laramie 3500 CTD with air suspension.

Thanks

Rubber seal between the cab and the bed. Chased mine for awhile and found a thread on here. Took it off and it’s been gone ever since

Thanks, I will Look for the thread and maybe remove my seal as well.
 
You might want to lube the door latches with some white grease, they can get dry and cause a squeak,

Thanks, I do keep them lubed up on all my vehicles. I think @Enve46 pinpointed my issue. I found the thread that he was referring to and it sounds like my issue. I will start with removing the seals between the cab and the bed. I don’t like the thought of the seals wearing the paint off anyway. I have a new 2024 Laramie 2500 that should be in any day now, I’ll see if they made any changes to the seal design.

Let us know if it’s the culprit!
 
A lot of camper guys use 303 protectant on slide seals, possibly spraying the bed seal with 303 will let it glide and not squeak?
 
Both of my seals rubbed on the cab, even after the dealership realigned the cab/bed. They were removed and I never noticed any more wind noise or fuel consumption.
 
I just wanted to chime in. THANKS , I read this as I have taken it in 9 times and complained about a squeak in the rear passenger door area only when it rained. They just kept lubing the hinges. Never taking it out in the rain or wetting it down. Sure enough after reading this I checked with the head mechanic and driver side was hitting the cab the passenger side had clearance.. Pulled them both off no more squeaking , it was driving us nuts. Just wanted to say thanks.

Ditto, but mine only squeaks when its wet.
 
My bed to cab seals squeak as well, and I discovered the other day that they’ve actually worn through the paint. I plan to take it to the dealership and see if they’ll do anything about it.
