Default 2014 Fx4 growl/grinding from front end

Hey guys I have a 2014 f150 fx4 with roughly 13,000 miles on it and at about 5,000 miles I experienced a hard growl and grind from the front end while driving right after start up..if I stop and put it in 4 high and than back to 2wd it goes away and there is a pop coming from the front drivers side. And just a few days ago it happened again, now when I go to use 4wd the front end grinds. This should not be happening and I'm considering bringing it to the dealer, any help?

HINT/TIP: You'll find posting in the
Late Model F150s > 2009 - 2014 Ford F150
section more helpful/appropriate than General F150 Discussion posts.

Actuator for the 4 wheel drive has the front end partially engaged...common problem on the new Ford's. Flunkee from engineering school must have designed these!!

Probably oughta get it into the dealership and put your heel on a neck. Pissing oil is definitely NOT a factory option.

Yes 3000 miles ago, however why would it appear to be coming from the t-case and the 4wd grinds and growls
