Whenever I get in and out of the truck, I hear a squeak from underneath. Or if I push it up and down. What could this be? Also sometimes when I put my vehicle in drive, nothing happens for a few seconds...what is this?

The squeck I suspect is the age of the vehicle and the rubber mounting bushings etc. under the truck.

The transmission problem, take a look at the tranny fluid level, make sure it is not over full and yet full. If it has been a long time, have the tranny fluid and filter changed.

Suggested Repair

Inspect the aged rubber mounting bushings under the vehicle for the squeak. Check that the transmission fluid is at the correct level, neither low nor overfull, and change the fluid and filter if service is overdue.
