When in drive/reverse out of a parking spot or make a turn truck makes a humming, clunking, and slows down or stops and have to give it more gas to move. When I drive straight all it does is hum. When I turn the electronic 4x4 knob the 4x4 light turns on and I hear relay clicking.

It sounds like the encoder motor is seized up not tracking correctly. Here is a diagrams so you can remove the motor to see if it is working correctly. Please check it out and get back to me.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

I removed the shift motor and the transfer case was already on 2 hi and the video is the shift motor switching AWD to 4 HI to 4 LO back to 4 HI to AWD.
