2000 durango, could the drive shaft be making this noise?

I have a 2000 durango with 102,000 miles on it. When accelerating slowly a
squeaking noise is heard, when foot off pedal, sound goes away. At freeway
speeds, the noise also a noise that seems to be a low tone (bass) fast
repetion viberation when the pedal is pressed down and it goes away when
pedal is released. Sounds like noise from deep tread on tires/road noise,
but is consistent no mattter the pavement. Occurs at speeds greater than
45mph.

Dealership did a test drive with me and said he thought was the drive shaft.
This does not make sense to me, could he be right?

Mr.

I just went through a rear end rebuild because of similar noises on my 98
Dakota, 87k miles. The dealership, Dallas Dodge, in McKinney, TX, rebuilt
the entire rear end when all it needed was a pinion bearing set. That was
near $1400 worth of parts/labor and a whole week of down time.
I had them save the parts. I next brought all the parts to two different
shops that do this sort of work and they both looked at it all. They both
agreed that the pinion bearing replacement would have done the job and would
have cost me nearer to $250. Beware of this particular dealership. I will
be from now on.
