my customer is a young kid and didn't get the concept that if the transfer case is leaking it will run out of fluid..the vibe started about a week ago felt just like a bad joint...there is a ton of slop in the chain inside the case and i wouldn't be surprised if it needs bearings...aka whipped t-case

Vibes can be tough to isolate.
I do agree with the others though that recommend you removing the front drive shaft and
test driving it to see if that makes a difference.
