Why does my bed squeak when I jump in bed?
Probably isn’t my shocks. I did the same thing as you, I pushed down on the front corners and jumped in the bed and didn’t hear anything. Just for your information, the grease worked it’s way in and the squeaking/creaking sound went away. 1 of the boots is torn so I’ll just have to grease it more often.

What does cold start knock sound like on Chevy Silverado?
Be aware that the radiator cooling fans may operate at any time. Cold start knock is generically called “piston slap,” which is common in Vortec engines. For the first 30 to 60 seconds after a cold start, the short-skirted pistons rock inside the cylinders and slap against the cylinder walls, sounding rather like a diesel engine.
Where can you hear the knocking of the engine?
The knocking can be heard around the top of the engine, but is much louder if you listen in the front wheel wells or beneath the truck. After a few minutes, engine heat closes the piston/cylinder tolerances and the knock goes away.
