for got to mention.. the strange grunting/grinding sound happens when its only in 2 wheel drive, as soon as you lock the hubs and ingage the 4 wheel the noise is not there!?!?! ???
i hope someone has a solution.

I was going to suggest brakes or wheel bearing but hub could be seized in 4wd. If you drive in mud brakes wear VERY quickly.

It has to be the lockout. i bet if you take it apart its rusty inside causeing the gear to hang up and be half engaged.

do i need to replace any parts?
so just take it apart... clean it up, put it back together then re-grease?

It depends on how long its been grinding.
