Hi-
I know it's nice to have a new Ford truck huh?
"Shift on the fly" is only for between 2 high and 4 high. Remember this for your transfer case's happiness. Make sure your stopped, without any strain on the transmission ( as in let the truck be relaxed and not bound up on the parking pawl ) whenever you're going between 4 low and 4 high! You can do it like this- put the truck in neutral and let it settle, like if you where to move it in and out of park it wouldn't know it. Then make the shift in either park or neutral whichever you like but NEVER moving.

i wouldnt worry about it as long as it goes in and out and works and dosnt make noises when in 4x4 or 2x4. If you whant a loud thunk try shifting one of the old np 208s like i have in my truck, man those things are loud.

I have owned three different model/year Ford with the auto hub/shift on the fly config.
All of them have made this noise and never let me down. I would not worry in the least about that.
My 2000 Explorer was really loud! Took it in to have it checked cause is was so loud, but nothing was wrong, jus the way it is.
