so I just drove back from college yesterday day which is a 200mile trip, but I’ve notice a high pitch squeaking noise coming from the rear end while accelerating but goes away once I get up to 30mph. Does anyone have any idea what it is? so I can fix it while Home
The truck is a 1995 Silverado

Inspect the U joints on the drive shaft

Could also be something stuck in the rear drums.

If you haven't dumped and replaced your rear gear oil, probably a good time to do it too. If the oil comes out black and burnt, or was low, you may have issues with the rear gearing

If that all checks out, pull the drums and see if they are rubbing the backing plates.
