I can't really tell if some of the other posts I've read are similar to this problem.
Alot of people are mentioning a "whining" and I just want anyone that reads this to know that's not the problem.
When in A4WD, going any speed, rapid accelleration (flooring it) will cause something to slip and make a pop, klunk, or really more like a muffled metal banging like it's going on in another room.
Worse when I put it in 4Low and make a turn. sounds like the freakin wheels are going to fall off.
I have pulled the cv's and checked them and regreased them. Checked the Hub assemblys to make sure it's not the bearings. The only thing I can think of is it being the transfer case, or front differential (front chunk).
This is what I did to make sure it wasn't the transmission, for those who think it is, because I went through this argument with someone else. I pulled the cv joints out and put the wheels back on. this way if the front wheel drive tried to engage it wouldn't matter because there would be no resistance there to make it slip. I would not advise doing this. Anyways, no popping sound when no cv's. So I had the CVs looked at just to make sure. they are ok.
Ok, so I know the noise is coming from the front and it has to do with the 4 wheel drive because i disabled it and no noise.
Does anyone have any clue of a solution for this without having to replace the whole chunk?
