2003 Dakota wont move unless in 4H
Wife was driving and said she heard some clicking noise. Shortly after the truck lost forward power and she pulled over. Engine runs fine but truck will not move in any gear. If you change selector from AWD to 4H the truck will drive. I'm thinking front transfer case but not sure. Any ideas?

Could also be a bad ring/pinion in the rear differential.
Is the rear driveshaft still in place?
Pull the cover and check the gears. I don't think the front differential is bad, I think it's the only reason you're moving now. When you put the t-case into 4WD it locks the front/rear driveshafts together.

Easy way to tell? Put it in AWD and have a friend put it in drive while you watch the rear driveshaft to see if it turns. You might be able to see the front driveshaft (I don't have a 4WD so I don't know how far down it goes). Whichever one turns and the vehicle doesn't move is the one that's shot.

There's only one transfercase in the middle of the truck. Are you saying the front axle is making noise when towing?
