truck wont come out of 4 wheel drive unless i back up really slow, while backing up i can hear a grinding noise that gets louder and louder until it actually puts a drag on the drivetrain, then there is a loud bang that shakes the whole truck and the truck will go back in to 2 wheel driveno problems engageing however and once it is in 2 wheel drive there is no grinding??? any ideas i already checked the transfercase and front differential fluids

If the fluid is full and clean, check to make sure there isn't a u-joint causing the noise. I have the same vehicle and it requires me to back up to remove from 4wd
