Philip,

The squeak is most likely coming from the shifter. It's fairly easy to
lubricate it. Firt, remove the spare tire. It's much easier to get to
the shifter mechanism if you remove the tire carrier as well, but this
isn't mandatory. The shifter mechanism is in a metal box towards the
rear of the area occupied by the spare tire. The rear of the box is open
and allows access to the mechanism. Glob some grease up in there onto
the moving parts, then get into the van and move the shifter around to
distribute the grease. That should do it.
