Stop, put the tranny in N then shift into 4low. You can't do it while moving or while in a drive gear.

Check the chain in the tranfer case, I just had to have mine replaced for the same noise and it was the chain had blown apart and took out the case.
BTW only had the jeep 1 1\2 weeks @ 59,000. bought from dealer w/ extended warranty.. Thank God.. New case in $1700.00 price range from jeep dealer.
