I have a 2004 Explorer V8 Auto 4WD and it is making a whining sound, rough shifts and feeling a kind of pop in the drive train. This happens when I am off-road in 4HI in 1st gear and in 4LOW. This is not a quiet whining. I am not at high revs either. I have had this Explorer for over a year and I have had it in 4HI & LOW a lot. Never before have I heard this noise until last weekend. I camped at this same sight on 07/03/05 and there was no noise. I also went to a different campsite in Colorado and no noise. There is no visible damage. Mileage 30,500 all maintenance done on time. The Dealer told that Ford has responded by saying this is a normal winding sound and the rough shifts and popping are normal. They also said that since I have BF Goodrich All-Terrains that the tires are not allowing the drive train to slip causing the popping and rough shifts. I am having a hard time buying this since I have had the tires on it since October of last year. Any ideas?

of course, if they have to work on it for free, they do anything to not have to do it. Aholes. That's when you never give them your business again, and come on great forums like this one  and tell others what kind of shotty business they are

Well, from what I can remember, for every customer you piss off, 10 more won't come back...I'm not sure that really works out because God knows that I've been a few places that I'll never go back to, heard other people complain about, and they still stay open...ah well, find the good ones and keep 'em
