yea but would it quit doing it above 20 or another certain amount of MPH
Can you isolate the sound to a side of the truck? Ie....drivers or passengers. Or does it sound like its coming from under the truck? Is it a really high pitched sqeak or a lower pitch?
Have you done any wheeling lately? Areas of high dust or gravel? Could be as simple as a rock in the brakes or as big as a bearing or worse. I would start by checking the ujoints as others have suggested. While your down ther fooling around take off both tires and check your brake equipment. Look for any leaks while youve got that all apart.

The U Joints are fine, there seems to be no slip or play between them
my dad thinks it could possibly be the wheel bearings but he says its not very comon for both to start going bad at the same time though he also said the sound could travel from one side to another and sound like its comin from both

Block your front tires. jack the back end up and put it on jackstands just high enough that the tires can spin freely. Spin each tire and see if you can hear a squeak or grind.
If it is a wheel bearing I would look into it asap. I had one blow apart and almost cut my axle shaft in half. The housing for the bearing jammed and with each turn was cutting further and further into the shaft. That and bearings are relatively easy to change out and inexpensive.
Yes it is odd for both to go at once unless your rear end ran out of fluid. Then its possible to fry both.
Check it out and let us know.

Well i took it to a mechanic and he didnt even have to look at it, all he did was stand out side while i backed it up and drove it ahead and he told me that it was an uncomin case where one of the U-joints had somehow tightened up and was squeaking from that, still not sure if thats the whole case but if it is then that isnt really to bad
