Squeaky problems

My truck, 99 dakota sport, squeaks while it is in drive and moving forward. The squeak is consistent with vehicle speed, and it stops when i put the truck in neutral while moving.

any clues?

we need your engine, transmission, and if it's a 2 wheel drive or 4x4 info. sounds like you got an automatic that's taking a dump, should be more of a high pitched whine versus a squeak

could be a bent in transmission/torque converter cover.

Also check your belts. Sometimes the load on the engine causes a Squeak. Can you maybe record the noise.
