What's up guys,
...when I turn my steering wheel to the right I'm hearing a screeching sound. It's not coming from none of the front end parts. I had all that lubed up. What could it possibly be?
Also, my steering column on the inside of the truck is loose at the neck by the tilt linkage and near the steering wheel linkage. Everything has been tightened on the inside but those areas are still loose. What do y'all recommend?

Tilt column has that added feature of having an extra place to get loose and become a general pain in the a$$. It's not uncommon for internal fasteners to work their way loose from all the heating/cooling cycles from the Mesozoic period forward. It will require a bit of effort to remedy, on the workbench works best for me, some guys use the cab as the holder. It is not a beginners level project by any stretch but if one is careful and uses proper methods and tools, it's quite achievable for the layman. Here are some images ive copied from info here.
