Hey guys, recently there has been a squeaking sound coming from my transmission (or at least near it.) The squeak only occurs when exceeding about 35mph and is not dependent on the clutch being engaged/disengaged. Additionally, shifting into any gear (including neutral) at above 35mph has no influence on the squeaking. The squeaking sounds almost like a person with wet shoes running on concrete. Lol that's the best way I can describe it. Does this sound like a pilot or input bearing? The tranny is an Fm145 and the truck is a 4x4.

A pilot bearing would be RPM related, not speed.

Your symptoms sound like a bad U joint. Replace both if one is indeed bad.

My credo
Failing is easy. Everyone can do it.
Check your U-Joints. You might have one with dry lube....

Put her up on 4 stands (under the axles, vehicle weight still on the springs),

now duplicate the problem and listen to where it is coming from...
