Default T case noise

01 ram 1500 4x4
My t case is making this weird howling noise when driving (i can only here it when going slow). The video was made with the rear tires off the ground and spinning the rear tires by hand. Fluid is full and clean. what do you guys think?

Take the drive shaft off and remove the tailshaft housing. There is a snap ring on the output shaft that breaks or comes out of it's groove.
