I have a 1998 4x4 Eddie Bauer edition that has 187,800 miles on it that runs great,looks great and drives great. I have replaced the front axles, ball joints,control arm bushings. The problem is the drivers side front wheel sounds like it is popping when I put it in a hard pull. It acts like the 4 wheel drive in kicking out of 4 wheel drive. It does this in all three ranges, 4 Auto, 4 high and 4low. Is this what I think it is? the clutch in the transfer case is slipping? The so called ball ramp in the clutch is what I am thinking. The popping sounds like it is coming from the left front wheel. I pulls great in snow and don't pop after it gets moving? Any Ideas?
Thanks, Andy
