So I've had a small problem with squeaking in the back end for awhile. I always thought it was the toolbox lock because it was always random and not loud at all. After I put the new wheels on a couple weeks ago, the sound has gotten louder and more frequent. I got a video of it in hopes to share and maybe someone can help me figure it out. I also cranked the stock keys around the same time as the wheels if that helps any.
I hope the video uploads correctly ...

Sounds like a brake pad sensor hitting the rotor indicating your brake pads are low. Check your brakes front and rear.

Front and rear brake pads have been changed within the past 9 months.

Are one of the anti rattle clips touching the rotor? Sounds to me like something is just barely scraping on the rotor as you're driving.

I don't know, I'll have to check that out. I haven't had a chance to break down the truck and investigate. Figured I'd ask opinions on troubleshooting first.

Checked the u joints and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I haven't had a chance to take the tires off and check the brakes yet but that's the next step

Finally pin pointed where the noise was coming from and took the wheel off. Come to find out, the brakes I put on in January are already gone and it's messed my rotors up. I found the receipt and I'm gonna take the brakes back and ask for a refund or a nice discount on some new brakes. I'm pretty livid.

Sticky caliper?!?

Don't wanna say I told you so, but I told you so. Anyway, what wheel was it? Did both pads on that wheel wear evenly or did inside/outside wear faster? Did both wheels on that axle wear evenly, or just the one side wear faster? Sounds like you likely have some caliper issues.

Not surprised. I was gonna say brakes can easily go in 9 months especially if you live somewhere that uses salt on the roads.

Don't be a douche both pads on that side where gone. Honestly, I didn't check the other side because I didn't want to get more pissed off and I'm gonna end up replacing both sides anyways. It's either caliper issues or crappy ass brakes.

Chances are it will be the slider pins sticking in the caliper bracket. Get 8 new sliders, 8 new rubber boots, and some synthetic brake grease, not antiseize. I used to service mine spring and fall.

If the boots get cracked, they will let dirt in.

The fronts in this video have the same sliders as the rears in yours.
