When in drive/reverse out of a parking spot or make a turn truck makes a humming, clunking, and slows down or stops and have to give it more gas to move. When I drive straight all it does is hum. When I turn the electronic 4x4 knob the 4x4 light turns on and I hear relay clicking.

It sounds like the encoder motor is seized up not tracking correctly. Here is a diagrams so you can remove the motor to see if it is working correctly. Please check it out and get back to me.
