Several times a week I will hear a squealing noise that sounds like it is coming from the from wheel area. I may also hear it when slowing to a stop. It does not do it all the time and it seems to be worse after the truck gets washed or wet. Also, it does not seem to be there when moving in reverse.

Good morning,

This sounds like the warner's on the brake pads for when they get low in thickness.

I would pull the front wheels and check the brake pads and see if there is a little piece of metal rubbing against the rotor.
