what would squeak when....

I have a terrible sqeaking noise that occurs everytime i begin to accelerate but stops sqeaking when the truck is coasting or slowing down. When the truck is slowing down at 10mph and under, the sqeak can be heard again but not too loud.

What parts of the suspension/drivetrain might squeak under just acceleration?
my CV boots are torn, but they've been torn for a while but the squeak hasnt started up until about the start of june.

my friend suggested u-joints, but hasnt gotten a chance to look at them yet...

Just wondering what you guys are thinkin it might be. Thanks for the help

My .02 would be looking at the U-Joints......The front one in particular.

U-joints and/or CV joints. If the boots are torn, eventually you will lose all lubrication and they could start squeaking.

hey guys you are right!

i had my friend who works at a garage listen and he said right away, its the u joints. We're gonna replace the front and rear, i'm just waiting for when he wants to do it, i hope its soon - the sqeak is killer.

cv joints will be done as soon as i get more money...i hope this truck lasts a long time. i've just about replaced all suspension and brakes.
