I drive a 1990 Ford F-150. And I am having a noise problem. It is a manual transmission, Inline 6, 2WD. Whenever I am in gear and accelerating I hear a squeaking coming from either the rear or mid rear from below the truck. I can also hear it from in between the bed and the cab. When I am out of gear or not accelerating, I hear nothing. At first I was thinking throw-out bearings, but that would only sound if the clutch was engaged. I was then thinking my rear wheel bearings, but I am not sure if it is coming from the rear wheels. Is there any kind of bearings that connect the drive shaft to the transmission? Or any other ideas? I am stumped, and I dont want to start ripping my truck to pieces when I dont exactly know what it is. Thanks.

The squeaking is a round squeaking sound. Let me explain, not like a bad spring or something, more of like a round bearing squeaking. It just a thought and i may be wrong, but if it were the wheel bearings, wouldnt i hear the squeaking all the time and not just when i am in gear?

Take it to an authorized maintenance facility and have them lube EVERY port. It sounds like perhaps the drive has not been lubed in quite some time.

Ford boxes have are notorious for coming loose. Check the nuts on the frame.
If it's a S/C truck it will have a steady bearing in the mid-point of the drive-shaft. It may be dry causing your squeak.
