Rebuilding differentials and transfer cases is definitely beyond my mecanical ability.  Thanks again.

Well a few days ago I was able to check the fluid levels in the transfer case and the front differential. The transfer case fluid was still blue and was full. The front differential fluid was low and real dirty. I drained out the old gear oil and replaced it with brand new gear oil. I took the truck for a drive and bad news. It was still making that low pitched grinding noise. Not sure what to look for next. It might be time to take it to a professional mechanic that knows what he/she is doing.
Just wanted to do an update. What is the most likely culprit that could be causing the noise?
