Has anyone experienced really loud squeaking from your 2008 18K Ford Chassis? I have sprayed the springs with penetrating oil and that helps for awhile but it comes back. The chassis did sit for about a year before it was purchased. Has anyone found a better product or another cure? Also, has anyone replaced the OEM Blisteins, that came on the 2008 and newer chassis, with Koni’s? Thanks for any info. Merry Christmas!! John

John, An old time truck mechanic told me that the least expensive solution is sometimes the best. Believe it or not, they would soak the spring in drain oil and the squeak would go away. Penetrating oil won't work long term.
