sounds like the transfer case you put in is shot. if it works fine in 2wd then the torque converter, and transmission is fine. Its possible but highly unlikely your front axel is the problem

then something is messed up with your front axel. jack up the front axel, put it on jack stands, put the transfercase in neutral, and take the diff cover off to see whats up
