1991 f-150 transfer case problems

i have a 1991 fi150 xlt lariat 5 speed 4x4 with a 5.0 its got 95000. . when i put my truck in 4 wheel drive (hubs in as well) when i mash on the gas it makes a sqeeking sound an the faster i go the faster an more hi pitch it gets. but if i keep my foot on the pedal goin a constant speed it quites down then when i left off the gas it gets loud again. it sounds like my driveline is scraping on something but there is no marks it has a little wabble in it but it looks ok. a mechanic said it was my transfer case but i dunno if it is an i dont wanta replace it an still have that problem o an its got new warn manual hubs an wheel bearings. 15,000 on both

I am not gonna say its not the transfer case but I am thinking more along the lines of a U-joint on the front drive shaft. When you first start going it is under a lot of load until you get to a constant speed and maybe there is less load. Just my thoughts on it, good luck.

But still makes that this bad sound as if a drill bit would make when you drill through steel an start squeaking
