It's a dry heat
I am getting a light squeaky sound in my truck, But 2000 miles from home

Sure sounds like its back of the engine, front of the trans area. No oil lights / pressure problems. Trans shifts normal.

I first noticed it mid Texas area. Drove another 800-900 miles with no issues. Noise didnt get any better, or did it get any worst


It has a squeak sound sure sounds like a flexplate. Pulled the lower brace to see up in the back of the crank flange area. Cant say that i can see anything obvious .
But it sure sounds like thats the problem.

Anyone had a similar issue ,,,,, is this common ?

Any cracked flexplate I've ever encountered(turned wrenches my whole life) made a LOT more noise than a squeak. twocents

It has a mixture of a squeak / chirp noise. how loud it is changes / Comes and go.

Diminishes ever so slightly once in gear and power braked to a degree

Ive had some GM cars with a cracked plate. But never a Mopar , ever

Likely the plate. They start to squeak. Then things get worse. Just had a 2017 diesel - same issue.
