Default Squeak problem-solved

For close to 6 months I drove around with a squeak that sounded like a bird chirping coming from my dashboard windshield area. I tried listening everywhere while driving and could never pinpoint the squeak that was driving me crazy. For whatever reason, I adjusted the rubber bumper stops for the hood and the chirp went away. I had to post this just in case there were others with the annoying squeak.

When you lift up your hood there are rubber bump stops at the corners of the hood that are adjustable by spinning them counter/clockwise depending if you need them extended or decreased. By extended mine, the rubber bumps "hold" the hood in place not allowing the hood to slightly move when hitting a bump thus eliminating the chirp sound I was hearing in the interior of my truck. Hope this explains a little better.

I have a crappy chirp coming from the rear passenger brakes. The chirp changes/goes away when I apply the brakes but it is annoying when driving. I think I an just going to have to get new rotors and maybe the emergency brake kit to resolve it from what I have been researching.
