I HAD SAME PROBLEM NOISE ON DRIVER SIDE ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE I RAN OVER SOMETHING. DID NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE AUTO HUB WAS GOING BAD. CONVERTED OVER TO MANUAL HUBS. PROBLEM WAS FIXED. IT COST 180 FOR WARN MANUAL HUBS AND 60 FOR CONVERSION KIT. THE DEALER WANTED 300 FOR ONE AUTO HUB. IF I LEAVE MANUAL HUBS LOCKED I CAN STILL USE TOUCH BUTTON TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE TRANSFER CASE. PROCESS IS EASY AND DIRECTIONS ARE REAL CLEAR THAT COME WITH CONVERSION KIT.
