4 wheel drive issue
Just got my truck a few weeks ago and just now fully testing the 4 wheel drive out since the roads are bad, ive noticed in 4th gear with 4 wheel drive im getting a bad vibration in the floor boards below 1500rpms, and it only does it in 4th with the rpms being lower then 1500 also tonight i noticed at the stop sign i went to turn and heard a clanging noise, any ideas?

check CV joint and all U- joints. Pull the shift motor off the passenger side of the front axle, and check to see if the intermediate shaft bearings are good. the two shafts might not be lining up for the collar to mesh and will cause a clatter. if the bearing is bad there will be alot of metal shavings in the gear oil. note: a bad CV joint can cause lots of trouble. i replaced a friends T CASE cause of a bad CV joint. it got to clankin' real bad and scattered the T CASE.

I'd check U-Joints,take the shafts right out & check, sometimes only one cup-bearing is bad thats enough to cause intermittant vibration,the other posts were valid ideas also. Jeep98,I think ther are bearings either side ofthe collar to support the 2 piece axle,make sure if you take out the outer side to clean out the housing so you don't get debris into the seal. I also lay a "slimjim" or something simalar in the tube bottom to slide the axle into the housing so you don't pick up dirt/rust into seal resulting in a leak.
