It didnt happen until I got my front tire changed. Sure occationally I would hear it but it was when i would lose traction I think.

The noise I hear is above 2600 RPMS. its a pop pop pop pop when accelerating. I think it may be the transfer case. I tried putting it into 4 high, and its there the whole time. unlike coasting in "auto", where it only happens when i accelerate.

What happened? I have a 99 ford explorer sport? with 4x4 auto.

am i able to drive this? what happens if the transfer case dies??? will i be stranded??
 






Your description is hard to understand, is the noise coming from the front or under the floor. Why do you think it is the transfer case? Are all your tires the same size? They must be the same. All should also be the same brand.
 






yes sounds like its coming from the front left floor. it was right after i got a new used tire put on. all the tires are the same size
