Think my Xreas could be faulty?

Depends what you mean by "creaking". With mine, I first noticed it just after I put on running boards this summer at ~6700 miles. I thought my installation was at fault so I checked and rechecked all of the bolts. Nothing loose. For the summer months it didn't make much more than an odd clunk or rattle typically over small bumps where you wouldn't expect any noise at all. Recently, however, the noise became obvious that something was really wrong. Significant metal on metal rattle over any road imperfection.
What I have heard is that if your x-reas is failing, you will see leaks. I could not see leaks due to my use of the Fluid Film rust inhibitor, making everything look wet.
Climb under your rig and look at the shocks for signs of a leak and also the center aborbers mounted outside the frame rails under the rear seats.
