Transfer case problems

Hey guys I have a 97 F-150 4.6L 4X4, in the past month I noticed that there was a ticking noise coming from my transfer case and as the days went bye it seemed to get worse so I took it down to my local ford dealer and had one of their mechanics look at it. He told me that I had a bad bearing in it and also needed an oil pump put in. I went ahead and had him replace the bearing and pump, after a week of waiting on parts it was finally put back together and I was happy to have it back. A few days later just for kicks I put it in 4X4 and it wouldn't engage while I was moving. The transfer case made a real bad grinding noise and thunked real loud when i slowed down. This has never happened before and in the past I have shifted into 4X4 going as fast a 45 with no problems. Any ideas about what it could be? I know the mechanic has rebuilt thousands of transmissions and transfer cases, this is pretty much the only work he does. Thanks for any help.
