Is it a "chirping" type noise? Check your exhaust manifold studs. My truck has been chirping/squeaking for that last 3-4 weeks. I finally took in to my mechanic buddy. He says I got broken studs....exhaust leak. I would start by checking your studs and go from there.

Sounds to me like a U-joint starting to go out.

Well all the studs are good and the u joint is tight but its coming from the engine somewhere. The u joint would squel if I let off the gas right?

Nope, when it is under load. and you could get some vibration also.

I've heard that the cam sensor or crank sensor (something like that...) can chirp when going bad ???
