When i turn the steering slightly to the right i get a chirping noise from
the R front wheel.If I hit the brake the chirping stops. The brake pads are
almost brand new.This anything to worry about?

Check and make sure everything is tight, and no cracks in the rotor. Also,
your truck is in the ball joint problem years IIRC, so check and see that
there are no problems there.

Just to eliminate something, no one has asked so I will ..
This isn't a four wheel drive running on pavement is it ?

Nope,rear wheel drive. I am thinking it has to be something with the brakes
since it stops when i hit the pedal. I didnt take the wheel off,but the pads
look almost brand new,very thick.
