wiggle your 4wd lever and see if it provokes the noise to worsen or resolve, it may be your 4wd lever linkage.

I had a loud grunting like sound on coasting decel after installing a budget boost in my 2001 4x4. Never did find out what it was from (u-joint, slip yoke, something). Never will, either, since I installed a SYE today. Have you modified the suspension lately?
