Well i have been hearing a single click in the front drivers side only when i have almost or completely stopped. It also does one single when if i accelerate fast. Kinda sounds like somethings loose but no look. Any suggestions

Maybe you've developed a locker and you hear it ratcheting in your diff? 
Seriously though, it's probably the U-joints. Cab be a Pain in the butt to change and they do tend to make a nice wining noise when begging to be changed.

No.....whining comes from misadjusted gears or bad bearings. If it's definitely coming from your 4WD, then it is your front diff. gears or axle or wheel bearings.

either u-joints or wheel bearing/hubs...If it was me I'd change your wheel bearing/hub and the axle shaft u-joints and call it good. You might also might consider changing the driveshaft u-joints as well.
