So I have a noise....its a squeal/squeak out of the drivers rear. Brakes check out fine, as they where just done not that long ago.

The truck has 95K on it.

It is only when I accelerate, and only when the truck has been sitting...after 20 miles or so the noise is gone..

Any ideas of what I can check? Like I said the brakes look good, I just had them apart last night trying to find the noise... When I free wheel it I dont hear it.

I really dont want to have to take it to the shop...

Diff fluid isn't low, but I don't know about if it needs to be changed...

How can I check the bearing? And how hard is that going to be to change out?
