Tranny or Transfer Case??

Drove my 07 f150 4x4 5.4 automatic, 300 miles yesterday, everything seemed normal. The truck has 72,000 miles on it. Today I get in the truck, put it in gear and it won't move. The parking brake was not applied. So I give it more gas then BANG it starts moving. Now I hear grinding noise from tranny or T-case. Drove the truck to the store, same thing when I get back in to come home. Trans shifts allright, but I can't figure where grinding noise is coming from. Transfer case is the manual style with the lever. Anyone have any experience like this?

Don't think it's the transfer case, dosen't make any difference what gear case is in. The grinding noise is now only in 1st gear, noise goes away after trans shifts gears. Anyone??

Your drum from first to two in the tranny is shot! Your mostly likely going to have to drop the tranny and have it rebuilt! If you decied to do this yourself it takes about three hours under ther right conditions (access to shop) for first time removeal, then an additional 2.5 hours to reinstall after the repair!

IRONHEAD40-- I think you are right, I ended up buying a rebuilt tranny from FORD for $1608 plus $600 core charge. It has a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty from FORD. Anyway it is in the truck now and all the noise and problems are gone. Consider it FIXED.
