Weird drivetrain problem...

I tried to search info on my problem but I can't find a specific answer. first off my truck is 2001 ford ranger 4x4 with an auto. transmission. when I'm driving around in 2wd, everything is fine...

when my 4wd high is on, and I'm starting from a deadstop my truck makes a weird "clunking" noise in the front end. If I'm stuck in mud or snow, and I give gas it keeps "clunking". where the problem comes from?

thanks

I saw a lot of people saying half shaft/cv joints but thats not it. I have checked them. most likely the drive shaft then.
