Transmission or transfer case

While driving 99 ford f250 super duty diesel 4x4 I heard a loud pop now it won't go forward or backwards. Is it the transmission or transfer case.

With the transmission in park will the truck roll or does park hold it?

If it rolls the problem is in the transfer case. If park holds the problem is in the transmission.

Mark makes a good point ...as usual... buuuttt...
We dont have access to a crystal ball. Not to be a wise-***(well maybe a little) but if you want accurate troubleshooting responses we need all the facts.
Truck miles.
Daily commuter, workhorse or plow truck?
Service history...trans, xfer case, diffs etc...Fluids ever been changed?
Have you dropped the trans, xfer case and diff fluids looking for evidence of failure(chunks)? If not thats where Id start after verifying what Mark said.
When and how did the trouble occur...at 90mph or backing out of the driveway? 4 wheeling or normal commuting?
Could be anything from a bad diff, snapped axle, ring/pinion. broke trans or xfer case to your e brakes getting munched up(if 99 has disc rears).

I hate dead-end threads.
OP...Please close the loop here.
Did any of this info help? What was the fix? Or did you junk it and buy a Dodge?
