    I'm a college kid, and I drive every day to school and work every night. I don't have a whole lot of time to pull the driveshaft or do anything major to that truck anymore. It's getting checked out on Friday

    Generally, if the squeak starts with vehicle movement and gets faster sounding as vehicle speed increases, I have found that the rear U-joint on the driveshaft is the culprit. You may find that the needle bearings in the joint have turned to rust dust.
