This is my second Explorer. The first was a 96' Sport. The only problem I ever had with it was the clutch going out(Manual Transmission) after about 120,000 miles. Any way, my transfer case started making noise at about 136,000 miles after taking it on a mellow 4wheel drive trail. I thought it was the transmission and was afraid to take it to the shop and get ripped off. I put it off for a few months just waiting for my tranny to blowup or something, but it never did. I found a good mechanic and he checked it out and told me it was the T-case. He rebuilt it for $800 and flushed my tranny. I'm pickin it up today. I really shouldn't complain I guess. 143,000 miles and this is my only problem?
