I would assume it would be a consistent noise if this was the case, but I could be wrong. I suspect its in the pinion bearing or a bad tc bearing at the ft driveshaft yoke given it changes with throttle. Oh well, I was hoping someone had experienced this issue, but that's ok. Been like this for almost a year now. Thankfully I don't use 4wd very often, so it hasn't gotten any worse so far.
