Unhappy Can someone help me diagnose this problem?

When taking off from a stop I can here a squeeking sound coming from the front end. Doesnt happen when the truck is in neutral, only when in gear. Then when I slow down to about 15mph, its starts to vibrate really bad. That is my major concern. I dont think its a brake caliper sticking since it doesnt pull to either side and I cheaked the rear carrier bearing and all looks well. Havnt had the chance to cheak the front driveshaft or u joints. Anyone have this type of thing happen to them before?
Thanks
Dave

Sounds like a u/joint.But can guess on many items.Need to do some checking.Loose lug nuts would do this.

I'm with Hounddog.....you may want to place the truck in 4wd and see if the noise changes.
