I've got a squeaking coming from my drive shaft, it only squeaks when I'm moving and the faster i go the faster the squeak. I assume its from a lot of rain and I've already had the differential checked. Again I'm not positive that it's the drive shaft but when i coast it doesn't happen either, only when my foots on the gas. My question is, any suggestions on making it stop cause it's aggravating. Thanks.

Suggest to inspect your u-joints. If nothing else - shoot some grease in them and see if the noise changes.

yeah i would say its your u-joints get under the truck and give the driveshaft a sharp turn with your hand if there is slop or alot of play more than 3/8" they are shot but other than the physical check of the you joint you would most likely hear a clink type sound when shifting or going into reverse! also i noticed at low speeds there is sometimes a squeking sound when the universal is going bad. but most important thing is to keep them greased if you have the greaseable u-joints cos water and stuff can get in there and wear them alot quicker
