I got under it and noticed a little play in the front drive shaft so I suspect that's it but not sure. What's the rule for full time 4 wheel drive? Can I remove the shaft and still drive it like I could with my old jeep? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, it can be removed and still drive it for testing. That maybe a seperate issue from the chirping. General rule of thumb, if the DS only has one grease point vs three, replace it, as it will go eventually. Heat burns up the grease and bang out it goes.
Chirping,,, is it coming from under the hood? the undercarraiage? We may need more information.
