Mike you should know me well enough by now to know that I wouldn't call you wrong brother. What you're saying seems logical I suppose, but nobody has ever told me that dropping her in neutral while driving was harmful, I always assumed it was like pushing in the clutch on a manual transmission... I don't do it all that often, only for diagnostic purposes, never in an attempt to save on gas or something, thats rediculous. I guess I won't do it anymore...
Back on topic, what is this noise/vibration I'm getting. It doesn't make the noise if the truck is not MOVING. Any ideas? I'm gonna go out in a few minutes and check over my truck in the daylight.

Had a dream last night that I was driving my truck and it was having trouble shifting through all the gears and then basically stopped shifting all together. Lets hope it wasn't some sort of vision into the future

Or shall I call you Dr. Phil??
This would only be yelling if he was treating my transmission as such. And you would know if I were yelling.
It's awful difficult to tell what someone's demeanor is over an internet post. Lets not play that game anymore.
Chris, good luck finding your noise. And your transmission would be better off in drive while on the freeway. Enough said.

Whelp... I'm pretty sure I found the problem, lol. Get ready to laugh. Some HOOLIGAN at school thought it would be funny to lock my hubs for me 
Just glad he was kind enough to lock them BOTH instead of just one
I haven't gotten a chance to test drive it because the closest freeway is 20 minutes away but I'm almost sure that the noise I was hearing was the chain drive inside the transfer case, and the vibration can probably be attributed to one of the rotating parts in the front drivetrain. UGHHH!!! So much stress over nothing! (hopefully)
I'll keep ya'll posted on what I find out.

Mike, STOP YELLING!!!!
And please don't assume that those CAPS + !'s meant I was yelling. That was a normal tone of voice

Mike, I do the neutral-back-into-drive thing while I'm moving pretty often. What you're saying makes sense, and I won't be doing it any more.
Chris, glad you figured out what the problem was.

Wow slug that post was like 75% gibberish. Not what you meant in that last sentence, but the sound was NOT driveshaft related. I do believe it was the chain drive inside the transfer case.
