Exclamation Weird humming/grinding noise?

So I bought my jeep a few weeks back and as soon as I got it changed the oil brakes front and rear diff fluids the whole 9 yards except the transmission fluid. In the past few days it sounds as if the transmission is humming or almost grinding when its in gear and moving but not when stopped and in neutral. Any ideas to what could be the culprit? ANY ADVICE IS GOOD ADVICE TO ME!!!!

Are you sure it's the transmission making noise? Whenever my Jeep starts making random grinding noises, it usually, 99% of the time, has something to do with those stupid drum brakes..

You sure it's not a U-joint?

Depends what setup your running. I would recommend at least 4.10's especially if your driving it on the road and off.
