Thanks for the info. I have a strange noise as well. I would call it a howling. I replaced both wheel bearings, so I know mine are ok.

One thing different for me is that it makes no noise when I am in reverse, only when I am going forward, which makes me want to check the transfer case. I backed out of my drive and nothing, I go forward and I notice the sound immediately!

Not to hijack this post, but does that sound like a transfer case issue to anyone else?

It's your "post", hijacking the "thread" !

No problem here, but you might start new with a potential differential issue)...(never bad to pull the cover, see what's in there, (shavings?), clean it with brake cleaner.....or U-joint('s)?
