Nailed it. Replaced front seal; noise is gone. Thank you!

Welp. Dealer says replace transfer case. $5800. This is crazy. I swear these guys have no idea how to fix anything, just replace anything that is in vicinity. Like the time they told me I needed a new transmission ($6000) and all it needed was a new filter and fluid change ($325 at independent...
