Hardy-Spicers on the propshafts?
What year is it? Did an orange light flash up on the dash with a clicking noise? 1999 onwards have traction control on all 4 wheels and it might be braking a spinning wheel at the front. Earlier years only had it on the rear (if at all).
Other possibilities are half shaft loose in hub (green Loctite might help), diff or maybe a bush worn or droplink snapped. Or even suspension damper snapped.
its a 2001 just had the right had shaft replaced as i had a good one sitting around ,didn't stop the noise no obvios signs underneath.Whats a Hardy-Spicer?

Timing case chain might be the culprit.
The universal joint at each end of the propshaft.
do you mean transfer case?

I did!
Does sound the traction control jumping in. More like a clunking from behind the drivers footwell. If the traction light lights up as well its doing it's job.
The Morse chain? Worth doing viscous coupling and all seals while you are in there. Make sure the output flanges are polished before putting the new seals in or it'll wear them away PDQ. From the Ashcroft Transmissions website:
"The Borg Warner rebuild always includes a new chain, output shaft, oil pump and includes new thrust washers and reshimming the center diff assembly; these are the four main wearing parts."
