Just to be on the safe side I am posting on this thread asking for a sort of "confirmation". My issue is that when I have my jeep in 4H and driving the front area of my jeep has this repetitive sweaking noise almost like something spinning is turning and sqeaking but ONLY when I press on the accelerator, now I saw a similar thread about this but it wasn't the exact same issue as me, after doing so research and looking, im guessing I have to replace the U-joints on my driveshaft? but I feel like I'm wrong since this issue only happens in 4H not 4L or 2H, but i've also slightly been discarding it since I havent used 4H in roughly a year and it's been sitting outside in -20C weather for like a week straight at a time this just started happening last week and today my second time using 4h happened again, should I try to use 4H more and the issue might sort itself out or replace my U-joints (Which I am easily capable of and have more than enough time to)

Edit.
You would have to remove the front driveshaft to see if the squeak goes away in 4WD.
It could be the front axle u-joints. They might only squeak when driven (4WD) vs. coasting (2WD).
Just to conclude the issue the front drive shaft was just causing so many issues, the end that has the 2 U joints was shot, would like not rotate properly, nearly grenaded and it would mainly happen when there would be force from the 4wd on the shaft, replaced that and the rear one and my issue was fixed
