I've never really noticed any noise from the transfer case to speak

is audible only at moderate speed [30-40 or lower] on quiet pavement.

My '94 is a little noisier in 4wd as opposed to 2wd.. more noticeable when
4wd first engaged.. as it warms up, the noise backs off.. on overrun, it is
relatively quiet.. do I have a serious problem here?..
