I was test driving a 98 Ford Explorer which was driving fine until I tried the 4W drive switch which is when the transfer case began to make a loud noise..... my question is, if I don't use the 4W drive is this vehicle ok to drive around town or am I looking at certain transmission/driveline failure in the near future? The price of this truck was $1900 but since I live in New York eventually I WOUlD like to fix the Transfer case, the question is: is this repair ok to put off until I actually need the 4W drive feature. I heard that these cases can not be rebuilt since they are sealed from the factory so where would be the best place to buy one?
