Last night I removed the left front hubcap, and driving to and from work today, the chirp was gone! Now to try and figure out what/why it's chirping. I have the coker radials that look like bias ply tires. American Classic I think they are called.
I put a rubber gromet in the hole of the hubcap where the valve stem goes through...to isolate the metal valve stem from the hubcap. If I'm lucky that will help. I'll drive again tomorrow and listen.
One other thing that bugs me, when my gas tank is full, it still looses fuel onto my fender going around a right hand turn. I bought a new cap from Dwight Heinmueller. That fits tightly, but I'm still loosing gas. Am I just driving too wild around these corners?
Here is a pic of my original tank and new cap. Anything else I can try?
