Newest noise from front end.....

I have a '96 2500 4x4 with 104,000 miles. I just refilled the front diff due to a leak, although that probably has nothing with my newest noise. I am getting a "squeaking" noise from the front end when turning. It sounds like it's at wheel speed, so I'm looking at anything that turns. I'm getting ready for a "turn and burn" trip between 600 and 700 miles tomorrow. The truck drives fine, but the noise causes me some concern. Any ideas?

Trip ended up being around 750 miles. No issues with the truck except that the mileage was not as high as I expected. I averaged almost 20mpg.
