Some are saying that short stretches are fine, and they are, but you mention you are cruising along...
WHY????????
If it works fine in dirt, it's fine. Are you also engaging the locker on the pavement? Good way to break an axle shaft.

I am going to say that banging is a tire (or tires) that get bound up so tightly it finally slips on the pavement and briefly relieves the pressure on the system. I don't care what the manual says, that constant banging can not be good for the truck.
A top notch 4X4 has a center diff in the transfer case to remedy this problem. I have never seen a Ford with one, although they they may exist.

So don't use it on dry pavement. This is like complaining that tires blew out when hitting curbs while cruising. Not designed for it.

You're just a troll. Next thing you're going to say is that when your key is on with engine off, you have low oil pressure.

A: if you have as much 4 wheeling experience as you profess, you should know by now that 4x4 and locked axels on dry pavement never
Lead to anything good. If you don't, now you do.
B: you posted this on an open forum. It's not your thread.
Maybe this should be locked before the **** hits the fan.

From what I have read on some other forums I wonder...
Maybe the transfer case was damaged and allowed to slip before, causing the chain to wear down the teeth. When off-road there is enough tire slippage to not let the chain slip but even a little dry pavement now causes it to easily slip. If this is the case, eventually the teeth will be worn enough you will notice while off-road as well then leading to it not working at all.
Not an expert, just trying to interpret what I read.
