If it doesn't do it in 4HI, it must be the transfer case itself.

are you making turns when it is doing this???

also the only time you need to be in 4lo is when you are able to let the front wheels slip so the chain doesnt bind up and break. . .

Do you meant it does it more than once going foreward in straight line, even when you don't increase or decrease speed?

You don't have locking hubs or anything do you?I take it it doesn't make any noise in 2WD

If it doesn't amke noise in 2WD, I'd say your transfer case is shot
