Hi all, my truck is making a really aweful metallic screeching sound when I first drive in the morning or after sitting for an hour or more. It's not a belt or brakes I don't think because 1. It doesn't do it when stationary and 2. It only screeches for about the first 30 seconds of driving away from my house at 10-30mph. After about 30 seconds it stops which leads me to believe SOMETHING needs lubricated as it just started and got worse over the last two weeks. I will change fluids but I wanted to see if anyone could suggest a place to start... This is what I am thinking it could possibly be:
Driveshaft U joints grease
Transfer case oil
Differential oil
Rear axle grease
Also it seems to be louder when I press the gas or "engine brake" and when I shift to neutral or press the clutch it gets slightly quieter. I'm 99% sure it's coming from the rear or center of the vehicle behind the drivers seat (cab) and NOT the front.
Thanks in advance for the help!
