OK well I have some noises and they sound like there coming from the center of my car...

They are a "Growling chatter" or "Deep Buzzing chatter" after I lift off the gas and decelerate with the car in any gear, If it is out of gear it stops or when you get back on the gas.

I suspect the transfer case, but I have changed one to another used one and have the Identical noise, I also have checked the driveshaft and all looks good, even the carrier bearings are in great shape..

What Else could be causing this noise? I have also swapped to a 4 bolt rear end at the same time as the front transfer case...
The noise was present all the time before and after the swaps...
 
Update for this thread......I have installed another transfer case and found the Identical Noise...

I also have found that my Motor mounts are SHOT and the motor is binding the drive shaft and transfer when i lift and un binding when i push on the gas....:hellyeah: Figured it out but have yet to correct it so NOT 100% sure its it but It seams to be the culprit...:thumb:
