SOURCE: DRIVE FEEL
Just a thought on this is could be that you have a bad universal joint on that wheel. The poping could be the slack warn components in the universal join baning from one side of the encasements as you move from driving the wheel forward to braking and hence using the wheel to slow the vehicle down.
You may check by putting the car in park and jacking the car up on that wheel and seeing how much play there is in the wheel linkage as you rotate it round it clockwise and anticlockwise but this will not making the popping sound in the same way as having the whole car wait resting on the joint as you are travelling along.
If it is the Universal Joint (Constant velocity Joint / CV Joint) it's a very serious condition that needs to be fixed and is a potential hazard to you driving the car. I would get it to a garage to have it checked.
Also it could be be a very worn ball join that is allowing the wheel to run out of alignment and hence makes it feel like its dragging. Again if you jack the car up while in park and try and move the wheel as if the wheel was being turned by the steering wheel - if you can feel play in the assembly here - and the wheel clonks as you pull it in and out you need a Ball joint replaced. Again its serious and should not be left too long to get it fixed.
Its possible if you have had the brakes worked on recently that the brakes could have been put together wrongly but I would go with the other checks first. Also it could be a bad tire that going through some sort of tread separation but test the CV joint and the ball joint first.

Its possible the 4wd actuator on the transfer case is sticking from lack of use. Its a black plastic part located on your transfer case on the drivers side rear with a electrical connector attached. Tap on it lightly while someone activates the 4wd button. Have truck running in neutral with foot on brake. (dont get run over). If it goes into 4wd, then just remember to cycle it into 4wd and back again once or twice a month to keep it from sticking.
If all this doesn't work a dealer will need to look at it.

Sounds like a n electrical shift actuator is at fault. It would be located on the transfer ccase. Make sure the fuse isn't blown and the wiring is connected at the case.

it can actually be your starter. many times a bad starter just wont turn at all. it can be that, a short, or the only other thing i can think of would be a blown starter fuse. you can check your fuse box in the engine compartment, it should be like a 50 to 80 amp fuse thats in a little clear box in the fuse section of your fuse compartment. hope this helps. and if fuse is good, you can try poking the starter with a stick and try to start. if it does something after poking it, then its the starter

Before you start replacing the starter, do some simple troubleshooting so that you don't waste your money. What happens when you try to jump start the car? Have you tried charging the battery to see if it was low? Have you had your alternator checked and made sure it is putting out amperage to the battery?
Start out with the jump start, and make sure you note anything out of the ordinary, like lights on both vehicles bogging down, or that your engine did not turn over.
If the engine did not turn over but you heard the clicking from the starter, then disconnect your serpentine belt and see if you can turn the engine with a large socket wrench. If you can, then it is could be your starter. If you can't turn your engine by hand then the problem is intenal to your engine and not in the starter system.
