Noisy in 4wd
 

My '94 GC is a little noisier in 4wd as opposed to 2wd.. more noticeable
when cold and
4wd first engaged.. as it warms up, the noise backs off, but never totally
disappears.. on overrun, it is relatively quiet.. do I have a serious
problem here?..

What transfer case and 4wd selection are you in?

Rule of thumb: If you cannot drown the gear noise out by turning up the
radio, then you have a problem.

But think about what happens when you engage 4WD. You're adding quite a
few more driven parts to the drive train, all of which will contribute
some small amount of noise. Of course it will sound different.
