Hi! I recently got a 2001 expedition Eddie Bauer edition with a 5.4 with 200xxx miles. I noticed when i got it that the abs light came on regularly but no issues. on my way back from Nashville the other day, i started hearing a grinding noise when i took a curve or turned. I read that it could have been the transfer case and it could be checked by unplugging it and driving, which i did and have not heard it since but i only drove it about 10 miles. what are some possibilities? It has the a4wd, 4h, and 4l switch on the dash.:Frustrated:

Sounds like the rear differential binding. My dad has a 01 4.6 explorer with 178k on it and it has the same problem. I believe that's what the problem was. We're gonna drop the rear end sometime soon to rebuild it. Hope this helps
