I'm going to hold off on the parts until I figure what parts I really need. I'll be jacking up the truck today and use the link that was provided for the 4x4 diagnosis. I'll let yall know what parts are going bad.

Finally fixed my problem gentlemen. I changed out the iwe solenoid for the updated version. Also changed out both Iwe with smart tech from Rock Auto for 160. Did the work myself, very easy job, took me about an hour and a half. First three pictures is the passenger iwe. As you can see In the pictures, it is all torn up completly. The last two pictures is the driver side iwe. That side wasn't, it still functioned well but I said to hell with it, why not do both sides. The gears on the driver side iwe were starting to grind down just a little bit on the inside. I'm glad I changed it out from the new one, before it grinded down the hub gears. (edit: disregard what I said about the pictures, they aren't in order, the passenger iwe is the one that I have my boots and jeans and the driver iwe is where I have my tennis shoes.)

I don't know if it would do it when cold, my truck is always a normal temperature by the time I'm out the neighborhood. The noise would occur randomly, but always on the throttle. It would stop whenever I let off the throttle it would stop. You could put it on youtube and put the link, if not you could send me a video and I will try to help you out.

My noise happens mostly during the first 5 min of driving after the truck had set for hours it only does it under throttle if I let off throttle it goes away if I'm pulling a trailer it does it the whole time I'm driving if I'm
On the throttle. I was thinking it was chain slap but your video has me second guessing myself
