Sounds like some lubrication may be needed in the hubs......

i just changed the diff fluid today and the old stuff was a horrible smell and was green and sludgy and i blew the u joint strp on the rear driveshaft but it was flailing around under my truck and i busted off the where the u-joint cap goes into it on one side and i need a new yoke but i cant find one anywhere

try to engauge the transfer case with out locking the hubs and see if the case will work fine without the hubs ,then you will know if the problem is in the hubs or the case . new yoke ? ford dealer would be able to get one -for top dollar. maybe a store that sells diff.gears ? lots of adds in the 4x4 truck magazines
