Squeaky Noise - Any Ideas??

I am a new member to the list and have a problem I was wondering if
anybody else has encountered.

I own a 98 CC Sport V-8 4x4 Loaded 27K Miles since January.
The truck has developed what I would call a major Squeak and it is quite
loud. The sound seems to be coming from the front end of the truck. The
Squeak is directly related to the speed of the vehicle NOT engine speed,
braking, or using 4WD. It is usually heard anytime after the vehicle has
sat and cooled off. It usually will last about 5 miles and stops after
the vehicle has warmed up. I have had all fluids checked and the engine
oil changed religiously every 3000 miles.
The sound seems to be coming from the right front of the truck but it is
difficult to pinpoint from inside the cab. Are there any suggestions??
Axle? Bearing? .....??

I am taking it to the dealer this weekend (under warranty) to get it
checked out but thought I might try and get a possible diagnosis first.

Let me know....THANKS!
