Brake pedal squeak... yours too, or just mine?

[Eskimomann209]

I had this issue
It mad me more of a fluid squeak than a mechanical squeak
And one day poof it was gone.
Until it disappeared I used the universal squeak eleminator.

The knob on my stereo turned faaaar right.

Mine creaked for a long time but it seems to have gone away on it's own. It never really bothered me, truth be told. The truck is 22 years old and still runs strong. I take the odd noises as proof she is still alive.

I'd like to cut down on the odd noises, since my truck seems to have so many of them.

Keep looking, you'll find the pivot and brake light switch. A little bit of wd40 fixed mine.

So what was squeaking on yours? The pivot or the switch... or did you simply spray everything?

I sprayed everything.

I knew right where to look though. I had been under the dash before, trying to figure out a way to make the brake lights not come on so soon (with the long pedal travel) because it made the trailer brakes come on too soon when pulling our camper. I have since ended up fixing the long pedal travel by removing the abs. Working on the brake pedal/brake light switch made me want to choke an engineer.
