Grinding/Squeaking
I have a 2000 F150, 94k miles, manual transmission, 2WD
About 6 months ago a slight squeaking sound started when only backing up. Now its progressed to a sort of grinding metal on metal sound with regular driving as well as in reverse. I can hear it the most when its in gear and I take my foot off the gas. I changed the breaks, checked the wheel bearings, did a clutch test, and the u joints look fine. Something weird happened yesterday, while raining out, it didn't make a peep. My drive shaft and u joints have a layer of rust on them...could that be a cause of the noise, and it went away when wet? Any thoughts would help, thanks!

Yes! Pretty simple doesn't cost much. Glad you are getting them done early before too much damage is done. I hate how nothing on cars and new semi trucks is not grease able. I don't like diagnosing issues online I would rather jump under the truck and check it out lol!
