hi there
what kind of noise?
check under the truck passenger side .
make sure e brake is on car in park and engine off
look for a bushing almost under the passenger seat
look for a bar from the front end going back to the fram of the truk at the fram side you can see nut at that bar and some bushing . i thing they call them radius arm bushings
check them
good luck
