Strange Noise

Hey, Folks -

After towing our '18 JLU, 2.0, when I disconnected and shifted the transfer case from neutral into 2WD, I backed up and then put it into drive to pull around the motor home. From the front of the Jeep there was a noise that sounded like crushing a thin plastic water bottle (like one from WalMart) - kind of a crackling sound - almost like electrical arcing. Shifted out drive immediately, into park, then back... did it again. Third time it went into drive and no problems since. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mickey

Thanks - drove it about 15-20 miles yesterday in 2WD with no issues. There's a red clay road near here that I'll try in 4-Hi and see what happens.

Follow-up: Came back yesterday from towing to Florida and back behind our motor home, and driving while there a good 100 miles or so. No issues with hook-up or detachment, nor with driving. Weird - wish I knew what the noise was...

At any rate, love this Jeep!
