TLDR;
If your suspension squeaks like a '42 Ford, ask them to replace your jounce lines.
Background:
My truck is one of the first 1,500 produced. Initially, the suspension was really quiet. Shortly after delivery, however, it developed a slight squeak on rough terrain (I live down a gravel driveway with some decent potholes). It continued to get worse over time, but since it really only affected me while in the driveway, I let it go. FFWD to last month when the geniuses in charge of roads put in 4 speed bumps in a 300-yard span on my way to work. Eight traversals a day sent the minor annoyance into a significant problem. It was so bad that I was embarrassed to drive over the bumps if there were pedestrians near enough to hear the squeaking. Since I already had a service appointment scheduled, I added it to the ticket.
Resolution:
When I picked it up last Saturday, I was told the jounce lines were replaced. I didn't really think that would be a fix since others here had stated they needed a damper replacement, but I am happy to report that the squeaking is completely gone.
Other Notes:
Updated tonneau - much slower than the older one.
Updated/recall accelerator pedal - low speed response and control is MASSIVELY better. Parking in the garage is so much easier, and acceleration from a stop is more smooth.
