There is another thread around here about a very similar situation. Find it and read what their result was.

I bet your truck has the AUTO 4x4 option (it should say AUTO on the 4x4 selector ****)
It sounds like the clutch disc`s are slipping.

I can't find the old thread either. Hopefully someone else knows where it is. The issue sounded very similar though.

Bigevil_40,

Sorry to hear about your current concerns. Were you with the dealer when they were attempting to duplicate the noise?

If you are concerned with the current diagnosis I would recommend seeing if you can compare the noise you are hearing to a similar vehicle or getting a second opinion from an alternate Dodge dealer.

Please let me know if you have any questions or are seeking additional assistance.

Yep! That's it. That one and an earlier post by the same guy detailing the problem and all the suggestions by people. Unfortunately this guy didn't get a fix, but perhaps the OP of this thread can find something useful there.
