Yes, since I threw the Auto/lock hubs away after the Second set was replaced by the dealer under warranty I bought a set of warn premium hubs so I can turn the switch to four low and leave the hubs in free mode and that gives me two low

So anybody have any advice on the Howling in the video I posted and what it is and what I can do to fix it

Could be clutches slipping. Goes away in low because the torque requirement is reduced.

how many miles on the transmission?

It's easy to tell if a clutch is slipping. If it is the trans fluid will be brown or black.

Didn't answer the question. Was it brown? Red? Green?

Your seal is leaking between the trans and transfer case which is overfilling the T-case. I had the same thing happen on my F-150. I just checked the T-case fluid once a month and drained out the overflow. According to the trans shop I use it is a fairly common problem and seams to happen when the trans gets to warm. On a side note make sure to watch the Trans fluid so it doesn't get to low. My F-150 made a high pitched squeal when I was driving if the T-case was overfilled....

I just replaced that seal last September when I had the trans out to get the front pump seals replaced so it didn't leak into the tcase... man whatever I do to stop a problem is giving me the problem I tried to stop.
