Default drivetrain problems

ok, I don't even know how to start with this problem. I hope most of you are mind readers and/or sound interpreters. Drove to mom's yesterday for Easter, speeds up to 70 mph both ways with ZERO problems. This morning, on my way to work, maybe 15 mph, I hear a weird noise. At first I thought maybe it was a cad in the radiator fan, that wasn't it. Ummmm.....it's something in the drivetrain, When I put in 4wd (manually) the noise goes away unless I am turning sharply. In 2wd it's a horrible noise. My front drives are not engaging when I put it in 4lo or 4 hi. Any ideas or suggestions?

Well I got the problem diagnosed. Both of my CV shafts coming out of the front differential are shot! This ought to be a fun and cheap repair. Would anyone possibly have a part number for these or a suggestion where to get them other than Dodge?

Any parts store should have them. Make sure to buy the whole shaft complete.
