Whenever I engage 4WD by placing it in neutral and then moving the 4WD lever into 4Low and I begin to drive I hear a awful clicking noise coming from the front hubs. Also, if I jiggle the 4WD lever the 4x4 light comes on and off and I can hear a strange, almost electrical clicking noise coming from somewhere under the car. I checked all the fuses and what not..any ideas? Couldn't I just buy Warn hubs or how does that work with the lever-engaging 4WD system? Thanks guys!

If this helps any..
When I'm in neutral and I engage the 4WD via the lever and then go into drive, I can really feel it pulling on the breaks. A lot more than I can in 2wd. So I am assuming this means my 4WD actually works, or something. My dad had Warn hubs put in place on his 96 Bronco for 100 bucks and its been flawless since. He had a similar "clicking" problem with his...hrm.

You have two problems. Your automatic hubs are not locking and that is usually a bad spring in the hub. They have a tendency to break. The second problem is the solenoid valve on your transfer case. You need to find out if the front hubs are actually engaging when you shift into 4WD. The surest way is to disconnect the rear drive shaft, engage 4WD and drive the truck. If it goes, 4WD works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
The Warn hubs are a viable fix for your hub problem, but you need to decide how much money you are going to put into a 10 y/o truck.
