hill or on flat ground,it doesnt do when its under load, it is now doing it as low as 60km. I have had both tail shafts balanced and my tranfer case re-built $2000 later still making the noise has anyone had this problem before

Yes ,I have had this problem.
This is going to sound REALLY stupid, but disconnect your speedo cable and go for a drive. I know people that have fixed wheel bearings, unijoints and rebuilt the gearbox and transfer case, before finding out it was the speedo cable. Having heard the noise myself on one vehicle I could not believe that this noise could be coming from a cable. A couple of mechanic friends of
mine said that they have rebuilt gearboxs on the owners request only to find a hell of a noise coming from the speedo cable when they took it on a
test drive.
Good luck, Tony.
