I'm hearing a noise while in 4x4 hi and low it's almost like a grinding noise but not quite. I've changed the t-case fluid and it looked decent having not been changed for 87K miles. the noise is either coming from the t-case or the front diff. i cant really tell which though......by the sound of the noise it sounds like it could be the ring and pinion because my front differential has been leaking a little bit, for the last 10k miles or so(the past 3 months) how do i go about draining the remaining fluid? because i only see the inlet screw. Any other ideas on what this might be?:eek:

also...it only makes the noise when i give it gas, when i let off the noise goes away...at any speed
