The interior dash squeak/chirp saga continues! Please help!

I've been trying to pinpoint a squeak noise inside the cabin. Happens at random times, mostly when the cab flexes around turns and bumps. But I have heard it stopped at a light while moving around in my seat, basically rocking the truck slightly. It sounds like it's coming from the passenger side dash/door area, but then again I have no idea. My wife sat in the passenger seat and said it sounded like it was coming from the center console. I have tried to replicate the sound but I haven't been able to. I just lubed my door seals and it didn't do anything for the sound. For the love of god, please help before I sell my vette and SSS and just buy a Camaro ZL1.

It'll wipe up. Might be a control arm bushing or shock. Go through a car wash with under spray. If the squeak goes away immediately after for a bit then you need to grease something on the bottom half.

I think that I would start by getting a long 4X4 and set up a fulcrum to where you could get one end of the 4X4 under the frame right under the cab and have a bud put weight on and take it off the 4X4, (Up and down), and go all around in and out of the truck and see if you can pinpoint the noise. (Assuming that you can reproduce the noise this way).

 

A 2X4 may be enough wood since you can create the noise by rocking in your seat.

Johnny, mine is AWD but thats a good idea. I THINK I may have found the noise. It might be coming from the hand hold bar on the dash. I'm going to look into it tomorrow. I discovered that if I apply pressure on that bar the squeak doesnt happen or appears to be muffled.

Update. Pulled off the dash handle bar, tightened the doors, lubed the seals, pulled off the radio trim piece and it still chirps. I also did as Johnny recommended and could not replicate the noise. I did notice it happens when I initially apply my brakes. Sounds like it's come from inside the passenger side dash
