When was the last time the transfer case fluid was changed and the front differential fluid changed? It sounds to me like you have major friction problems in the front differential and it needs to be changed out. Make sure to pick up a can of BG Friction Modifier or some equivalent because heat can destroy your bearings and ring/pinion.

I have no idea we bought the durango in Feb of this year... Do you think it could have damaged it any to where i would have to have it all changed out???? I really really hope not. I got 5 kids and one disabled I got to get it going again to get my son to his dr's.

If you had to put it in 4HI it is very likely something is damaged internally. I'd have someone you trust check the transfer case and replace the fluid in it. Try to jack the front end up (while the vehicle is in 2WD) and spin the wheels and listen for a grinding noise or it hard to spin the wheels. There should be a little resistance on the front because it's 4WD but it should be plenty easy to spin the front wheels.
