transfer case

Hello, I have a 2002 w/3.0 146k, i had a high squeal noise only when accelerating. you could really only hear it when going slow with windows open or in a tunnel or near a fence. the dealer said it was the transfer case, but ii have no physical symptoms or performance issues(other than it's not a 4.4) with no warranty, i was planning to run till it breaks, it does not seem like there are enough parts in there to hurt itself.
i have no chunking, like a stretched chain.
i'm not likely to spend the $ for a $2500 transfer case plus 7 hours labor if i can stretch it. I changed the ugly fluid with redline dex 4 synthetic. Has anyone done the diy cobra rebuild? it looks easier than removing the wheel carrier to change frozen rear ball joints

As far as the warning goes I just remember something when put it in gear I remember hearing a cling sound didn't think anything of it but now it make sense the spline had a little play in it so all it took was time

I can also hear a cling sound on mine, but only when I change the gear to R. No cling sound for D. How long after you heard the sound before it blowed away?

Had you ever changed out your transfer case fluid?

I just had the same thing happen to me and I found this thread and sent my drive shaft to racemailibu572 and he put a longer spline on the end. He provided very quick turn around.

I didn't have to replace or rebuild my transfer case so I ended up with a solution for less than $800 including the towing and repair by my local AMMCO garage.
