Default Clicking sound when in 4low

When my 4 low actually works, sometime when I'm going up a steep include, the front left sounds like it's occasionally slipping? Kind of makes a clicking sound. What could be my problem? I was thinking maybe a u joint. I have a 91 4.0 manual by the way

Check them ALL!!

The only way you're gonna find what you're looking for is to GO LOOK!

Around the Jeep that is. In these parts, we call it "noggin pokin".

That's where you use your God given senses to inspect YOUR Jeep for problems. We can only provide you with guidance as to where to poke your noggin.

There's no Silver Bullet cure you're gonna find from a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
