Usually the rear diff goes first. Or at least the odds say so, Then check the front. Unless you can obviously notice where the noise is.
Need to check the diff(s) rotation action by hand to observe any gear chatter.
Diff action by hand should "feel smooth' and fairly noise free.
Does it also happen when braking hard?
Might simply be due for a rebuild , possibly all 3 diffs while you are in there.
How many total packs have you run ?
>>>>And did you ever open and Check all your diffs for Oil level and proper Shimming. BEFORE you ever ran it out the box?
Failing to do this, usually ends up with premature diff failure from my experience.

With any diff... its going to be hidden damage, usually, You will need to extract the differentials and look inside..

Opened and checked rear and front they seem fine, kind of hoping it’s the center now and not some kind mystery.
If I have the in the air and max throttle it I get no (drive train noise) it’s when it’s on the ground.

Your pinion mesh may be a little loose. Mine did that one time and made a popping sound when I first got on the throttle.

Found it in center diff, look at picture.
Now once fixed what should I fill it with?
Don’t want anything destroying drive train to early.
Seem to be part: ARA310914
EDIT 20240129: changed the gears in center diff and 20 mil, everything works good again.
