Its a squeak that gets louder and faster as i give it more gas up until i can no longer hear it over the engine roar....I thought at first it was my serpentine belt or a pulley, but the noise only occurs when i give it gas in drive, not when just sitting still in neutral or park. Now tonight i was driving past parked cars with my windows down to possibly hear if it was from the front or the back (yes im a total newb to this kind of stuff) and i noticed that there is also a squeak that seems to be related to wheels spinning because it is in a roundabout occurrence, as if it were rubbing in one particular area...
So im not sure if these 2 noises are the same or different....yes i know this description is pretty much worthless

ps i have an 04 ram quad with the hemi

 

It could be anything from a dust shield on your rotor to serious issues.

Try and put the truck up and put it in drive and try to find the source.

 

A u-joint perhaps?

 

i had a squeek that i couldn't find FORVER! i replaced the struts, half shafts, u joints all for nothin (well, new parts are fun lol). turns out, it's the shock bushing in the rear. hose the top of your shocks down with some wd40 and see if it goes away temporarily. might save yourself some $$ and hassle

 

When I get a squeak I spray things with lube like PB Blaster or WD40 and see if the squeak temp goes away. If not then that what I sprayed isnt the problem. If it does temp stop then I know that is my problem and replace parts as needed.

 

I'd get out and rock the whole truck to see if it is suspension related. Sometimes suspension squeaks sound rotational but are actually not. My random squeak turned out to be the front strut mounts.

 

welp, figured it out...where my rear drive shaft connects with the transer case, its leaking oil and sand and gunk has built up pretty nicely, i pressure washed it off and it went away for now. So it needs to be fixed, whats the best way to go about doing that? Is there a seal or gasket in there?

 

That there is a seal, but are you sure the u-joint isn't the issue? The seal might be leaking but it may not be the u-joint that is squeeking. You prob pressure washed that as well right?

 

I did yes, it could be the u joint, i just know it from that vicinity...dont know much more than that
