Does it come from the t-case, or the cv joint right at the t-case?

Remove the front shaft, put it in 4wd and see if you have the same symptoms.

Tedious, but, not that difficult. If you have replaced a u-joint in the past, you have a good idea of what its all about.

it is the chain making the noise. if the chain doesnt move in 2wd, nothing is really compromised by continuing to drive it like that, right?
