Default Weird sound in 4WD.

I recently converted my AWD vehicle to 4WD. I did leave the AWD axle in front.

Tried the 4WD in snow today. Seems to work great in 4hi and lo when driving around with normal power.

However... if I try to goose it where the front will break loose I am hearing a clanking or pinging sound which seems to come from the front axle. dont feel like i am loosing power but i dont want to break anything. it sounds like if you banged a screwdriver on a thin piece of sheet metal.

I have no idea what it could be.


Halfshalf is breaking down?
Loose axle bolts?
Something wrong in the front diff?
front driveshalf i had made is too short and doesn't fully engage in the transfer case?

I really dont think the AWD front axle is screwing it up but who knows. It can be converted to 4wd style if needed.

Does it get worse when turning? Sounds like bad CV's
