Default 2010 5.4 transfer case problem?

hey guys quick question i own a 2010 5.4 with 6 speed tranny....i have20x10 installed on 35x12.5 nitto trail grapps.

the problem is when in 2 wheel drive i get a rattling like sound what sounds 2 be around front of truck below center console. this sound has gotten progressively worse and has went from intermittent to almost always. this sound immediately stops when shifted into 4 HI.........speed of truck doesnt matter although it seems very loud at high speeds.

Any Ideas or similar problems??

Sounds like that may be your problem stated above
( the IWE
solenoid or any vacuum hose leading to IWE on either front wheel leaking) - what can happen if a vacuum leak starts to diminish the suction applied to the IWEs internal spring (that push the front hubs to engage ) the front
halfshafts will start to engage making a nasty noise . Another OP has this similar problem - check his post
