Check the fluid level in the front differential. And also check the fluid level on the transfer case. Mine would do that and the front differential was almost dry.

ok stupid question, how and where is the things to check the fluid levels??

The diff cover has a plug in it . Pull the plug and the fluid should be at the bottom of the hole.
This pic might be slightly different from your t-case but you'll get the idea.

ok so the front diff and t-case fluid at bottom of fill hole correct?

perez1989

Yes. If the differential needs oil add some gear oil not sure but it might be 95-140. The transfer case used Automatic transmission fluid. Dextron Mercron III. Just fill them both till they start leaking out the fill hole.
