Both front and rear driveshaft CV boots at the transfer case where cracked and lost all grease in the joints. Led to failure in the driveshafts and had to be replaced. Replaced with Tom Woods Driveshafts with 1310 Double Cardon U-Joints instead. 
11780 mi shudder when in reverse on an incline. Dealer said torque convertor is slipping will have to be replaced. When I looked up the problem on the computer it seems a common problem on this auto transmission. they rebuilt the complete trans and replaced the torque convertor. Tried to blame it on me because I had changed the air intake. Replaced the stock intake to make them happy, still shudders in reverse.
