Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the transmissions & transfer cases section.

Rebuild that case

This is what I am working on right now...exact same symptoms. So far I have replaced the range fork bushings, HI/LOW collar, all seals, and added a bronze bushing to the rear case half. I would imagine your case could be suffering from the same issues mine, and many others have. You can rebuild it yourself, or purchase a re-manufactured unit. Don't waste your time with a salvaged unit, unless it is very low mileage, and very inexpensive. I think you can also change over to a manual unit, maybe a 1354.
