ok. i was under the assumption there was 2wd option on the shifter. AWD says it all really. so the front drive shaft and axle will be spinning either way. so, what about the whole clanking problem. assuming loose transfer case chain? is there an adjustment or is it stretched? sounds just like a bad u joint but they are all very tight and sound seams to be coming straight out of t-case. also this may be same problem....when truck is accelerating it pulls smooth but when i let off gas it gains a good vibration. 4wd shifter shakes like crazy. hit gas and goes right away. this could be a sloppy chain as well? my first thought was out of balance drive shaft.......
