Question squeeking while accelerating

My wife's truck is an 04' 1500 quad cab sb that has developed a squeek. The truck has 31k miles. It only squeeks while accelerating, goes away if you let off of the gas. Does nothing if you put the truck in neutral while driving at slow enough speed to hear(10-15mph), and does not squeek while breaking. It sounds as if something is rubbing a tire but the tires show no signs of anything rubbing them any suggestions are appreciated.

Sounds like maybe a U-joint.

Be sure and have the truck in neutral when you check em. Also don't forget to set the parking brake.
