Default 99 4.7 4x4 slight hum/whine at 40 mph

recently purchased 99 grand cherokee with with blown motor and replaced with remanufactured. engine sounds great, however, at about 40 mph when applying throttle, i hear a faint hum/whine. front dif fluid and gasket has been changed, replaced trans filter and fluid. transfer case rear retainer gasket is leaking but fluid is still at upper fill hole. hoping for advice on how to move forward. thanks
