I jacked it up and spun wheels. It almost takes two hands to spin wheels on both front wheels. If I grab the tire on left & right has a lot of play. Is this my wheel bearings? Or could it be a Transfer case or 4x4 issue? BTW it does go in and out of 4 wheel drive properly. Thank you

Sounds like the front axle electric actuator is bad. these are mounted on the front differential housing. they are known to go bad.

It does not seem that sufficient diagnosis was done. No, you cant give a specific diagnosis like that without tearing unit down. It's likely that they told you the most common failure and left it at that. Likely there is a problem with your unit...I think this becomes more of a trust issue than a mechanical one. A second opinion from an independent reputable shop may help but either way, you need to have it fixed. In not using it much, it makes me wonder how it got worn.
good luck

Jack up the front end and put stands under it and block rear wheels. Look at axle boots and see if they are cracked. Try turning wheel back and forth sharply and see if you can hear any clicking. Problem could be outer axle joints. If the boots are cracked or you hear a clicking noise you will have to replace the axle. The axle and boot come as a complete unit. Please let me know what you find out.

Sounds like the chain in the transfer case has broke or the linkage is out of adjustment

You need to check the fluid level to make sure its full,
Then if you could get access to a hoist so you can pin point your noise.
