Driveshaft

Ok I have a 03 f250 sd cc .I have found a squeeking sound coming from the inside of the secondary driveshaft.I have worked on cars before but I never heard of the driveshaft itself making a noise.Special driveshaft? I checked all the U joints, bearings center support and the sound seems to coming from rear portion of the driveshaft. I know replacing the driveshaft will cure the problem but I would like to know what causes it. Anyone run across this kind of problem? Thanks for any help.

There's a spline inside the boot that needs to be lubed.

Well your never to old to learn something new. With everything needing "sepcial" lub or fluid ,is there a special lub for this or would a bearing grease be ok ?
Thanks again and thanks for the help
