It's been a while since I have been on here. Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed a squeaking noise while driving. It sounds almost like a belt slipping but it only does it while moving especially when I let off the gas. I have hit the accelerator while in park and it does not happen , which leads me to believe that it is a rotational noise. Any ideas where this noise could be coming from? Transmission? Brakes? Wheel bearings? It started in the really cold weather the other week but would seem to go away when the car warmed up so I assumed it was just the belt. But now the weather is decent and today the noise was there and wouldn't go away.

Get someone to listen or drive for you and stand outside/walk around while moving and figure out where it is coming from and go from there. If it is coming from one of the wheels/tires then you know where you need to look, if its underneath at the front or back or middle then go there. Could be as simple as a stupid rock in your rotor to something like ring&pinions/u-joints, other "fun" stuff.

Does it go away when you press the brake? How about in 4wd vs 2wd? Also what this guy said ^^^

No it does not go away when I press the brake but does go away once I slow down to slow speeds around 25 and less.
It happens in both 2wd and 4x4

I would go and check your u joints at your wheels and check if your wheel bearings are ok. See if there are any tears in the rubber parts or anything falling out of the u joints. to check the wheel bearings jack your tires up and grab each one at 12 and 6 and push with one and pull with the other and check for play. The front wheel bearings and u joints aren't too bad to replace if you have all the right tools, they come as sealed units so no packing or anything. also check for rocks in between the dust shield and brake rotor like the previous post suggested. and see if your brake pads have enough meat left on them. Good luck!
