Default Squeaky Drive Line

Hey everybody. I have had a squeak coming from my drive shaft develop over the past couple days. At first I thought it was time for new brakes, but upon replacing them this afternoon, I realized it was coming from the drive shaft. Weird thing is, It sounded like it was coming from the middle of the shaft, not at the ends.

It squeaks from takeoff up to about 15 mph and then goes silent. It doesn't squeak in neutral, only in drive. My truck is a 2003 Fx4 Supercab with the 6.5 ft. bed and its got 120XXX on the dial.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks

What's the best way to go about that? Dealership?

Do you have any experience with automotive work ? It's about $30 in parts to change out, not sure what the dealership would charge to replace them. Call a few automotive shops and see what they say.
