Help, 1997 Z71 4X4 problems

I am about at my wits end with this truck. Here is a little background, my truck has been pretty much problem free for the past 185000, but recently started acting up, first, the transmission went out (broken sun shell) So i had it professionally rebuilt, when i got it back, everything worked as it should, but not too long after, the 4X4 stopped engaging. Figured it was the actuator, and sure enough, a new actuator solved the problem. Now today, when locked in four wheel drive, i get a pretty severe grinding noise from, what sounds like, the front end. I have only driven it 420 miles since the total rebuild.

My question, is it possible that my actuator has already went bad and isn't extending far enough, or does this grinding sound like a symptom of a larger problem? Is it possilble that the transmission guy didn't do something correctly? I also noticed that my battery may be getting a little weak, as I listened to the radio for a couple of hours in my shop, and then the next morning when i went to start it, it started a little hard, and my clock was reset to 1:00.
My truck drives just like it should in 2 hi, but grinds in both 4 lo and 4 hi.


thanks for any suggestions, this thing is killing me with all of its problems.

thanks
David
