Check the universal joints and the transfer case fluid and also check the four wheel drive universal joints thats a start.

replace the front u joint. I had the same issue with my truck, and I noticed that the front u joint didn't come stock with a greese zerk, the oem replacement does so they wear out fast. by the time I found it, it still looked ok till I removed the drive shaft....It was very close to wearing through.

well i had the same problem everyone told me the clutches in the rearend were sticking making it stick in positive traction (only your passanger side rear wheel pulls unless you start spinning then a type of clutch engages the other side so you have traction then when you stop spinning it disengages it should never be engaged if your on pavment) now you can do what i did listen to everyone when they tell you its normal or you can take it to someone with experience now and save yourself some money cause it will start popping then it will get some viberation then next it will break the clutches and when that happens you will have to replace the pinion,ring,and the spider gears as well as the clutches.make sure you have pleanty oil in rearend if you dont add the limited slip conditioner it might free clutches up but if i had it to do over id put it in the shop or stop driving it before i broke something hope this helped

look in the manual in dash it has all capacities in it, i have a 2007, it holds 6 quart with filter change, tell you what, change the oil and filter ,add 5 quarts if its a v-8 crank for a min, shut off let sit a while check dip stick to see if you are full or quart low, best thing to do if you cant find in manual, hope to help you ,robert b.
