I agree w/ this guy^^^ except mine was a rear u-joint. The moisture from the rain temporarily "lubricates" the joint and when it's dry it squeeks. Does the squeek get faster/slower relative to speed?

Can't, these are sealed U-Joints no grease fitting to lube.
PITA to change.

My cab support cables were squeeking on my truck. Took them off and threw them in the trash. No more squeek. If you got in a wreck bad enough where you needed the cables you'd be dead anyhow.

Thanks for the help guys. Its not my u-joints for sure my front driveshaft isnt even on do to my lazyness. Ill get someone to jump and down on it for sure to hopefully narrow it down. And yes my seetbelts squeak too but im going to take these things one at a time. Its an extended cab btw. And the noise is constant at all speeds thats what drives me nuts. I just turn the radio up to the third line and luckally i cant hear it anymore. Im not 100% sure its inside cause I cant hear it at all when the windows down do to the wind noise. Thanks again for yalls help
