They are either locked in or locked out... if they are locked in you can travel in either direction and put the TCase in and out of gear at any speed either direction.

I would advise to seek a hoist so you can run the driveline up and walk around and listen...... My guess would be a bad universal or front bearing...... gotta check it out closer.....Clark kent was the only guy with xray vision I knew personally..

My first guess would be one of the U joints.
Second guess is the bearing inside spindle for the stub axle.
