Hello, truck has devolped a "squeaky/chirping" noise only while accelerator is applied while driving. Will not do it during idle only during acceleration. I plan on removing front driveshaft later to see if that's the problem, any other suggestions?

 

your ds check plan, is the first and most important. my guess too

 

Anyone know of a good write up on rebuilding the front driveshaft?

 

Sticky: "Write ups" , "How To's" , and "MUST Reads"

 

thanks for pointing me towards the sticky how to thread. Just a little mixed up about the exact part #'s I need for Advance Auto Parts.
I want to call them tonight to make sure they have everything in stock, I'm wanting to do the front driveshaft rebuild tomorrow.

What are the part numbers for the u joints and centering ball that i need?
thanks

 

Precision part numbers are 344 for the joints and 617 for the centering ball. I don't know what brand they carry, but they should be able to cross those numbers.

 

Alright , so I took driveshaft off, still getting noise, any ideas?

 

Front or rear can you post a video?

 

i took the front driveshaft off, sounds like its coming from the front. I'll try to post a vid, I wasnt thinking rear driveshaft but it's a possibility, letting her cool down now i'll pop the front driveshaft back on and post a vid within the hour.

 

you have an 04 you should be able to lock your diff and drive with the shaft out. that way if you took it around the block you could rule out the front drive shaft right away.
