The video helps, but I can't be 100% sure. I need you to check something. First is there any play in the rear pinion bearing where it goes into the differential? Also, another problem with these is the output bearing on the rear of the transfercase. There is a steel clip that holds the bearing inplace. I have seen several that the retainer broke allowing the bearing to move and make this sound. Check that for play too and let me know what you find.
