transfer case noises
About 9 months ago heard a strange noise when shifted into 4 wd , sounded like driving over those grooves on the side of the highway to keep people awake.
Had to pull over to stop , as it would not go back into 2wd with the noise still going.
Then it stopped , after shutting truck off and restarting.
Then earlier this year after trying to do it again in 4wd had bad clunking noise and was hard to get back in 2wd , I can here the shift motor engaging and the dash reads in 4wd, seems its not engaging fully in 4wd and not going back to 2wd, its a very bad clunking noise, shakes the whole truck, any ideas?

Gonna have to help us a little more about what you're driving... Year, engine, transmission, transfer case... whatever you know, post.
All I can get from your post is you're driving some sort of vehicle that has electric shift 4wd. Honestly its not even clear if you're driving a ford.

transfer case motor
Drained the oil out , yes its dark but no metal or shavings.
Took off the shift motor , hooked it up to 12 volts and it moves,not
sure how much its supposed to , it seems to move almost 90 degrees
back and forth.

Don't want to buy a new one if this one is o.k
Do I need to remove the t - case to go further?

Is your front drive line good? do you have a Double Cardan from the transfer case? If so, check it for extreme play....
