Does anyone know why my truck would begin to squeak after replacing the camshaft sensor? Thanks in advance!

Are you sure it, the squeak, is coming from the cam sensor ?

Hey Hank. Thank you for your response. The squeak was from a seized idle pulley. I replaced it - problem fixed. Would you possibly know anything regarding the 5.4 Triton engine issues where it shakes during a low idle? Usually happens while going through drive thrus and/or simply pulling into my garage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Without some tools to verify, good chance of a vacuum leak.

Suggest you start with PCV hose and move on to smaller hoses that are connected to manifold vacuum for vacuum supply.

If you don't find anything let us know and we can check all hoses that come off manifold vacuum, thanks.

If the smaller hoses are not too bad , you can use a pair of pliers to pinch a hose closed, saves a lot of work.
