OK I thought I had her all figured out.... got under the truck and I can't get the U-joints to move at ALL nothing nadda I was jerking on them pretty good. I did notice that the Transfer case seems to move a lot. (should it do that)

I am also noticing that the squeak noise goes away when the truck is warmed up??????

any new ideas?

check the disk brake pads to see if the pad is worn out and the squealer tab is dragging on the rotor.

start by jacking up the tire and spinning it to see if you can duplicate the sound.

i had the same thing but i went to go change my wheel bearings and come to find out my rear is blown the spider gears were cracked and the fluid was old and smelt gross as hell. i would suggest open of the rear diff and take a good look inside.

Mine never made a noise until I just had the radiator replaced, now I have a squeal. Mechanic thinks coolant got on the belt. Truck runs fine except for this noise. So I drove it home (was on the road at the time) 600 miles.....squeals only during acceleration, after all these miles squeal is still there.
Any ideas? I checked all the work the mechanic did (I watched him work) and nothing is loose.

i have a similar issue. mine squeals between about 2500 and 4K RPM and i think its the fan in my case. thinking of changing to electric fan to fix my problem.

Default only squeaks when i hit the gas

Im having the same problem. it only makes the noise when i accelerate but it does stop when i let off the gas. it stops completely when ever i start going down the road for a while.
