Digesters,
Can't help but point out that I've made repetitive posts to the digest in 
regard to strange noises coming from the transfer case, that need to be 
checked out because it is more than likely coming from the front wheel 
bearings and/or hubs. I won't repeat the stories about how I learned this 
the hard way.
