2003 F250 Superduty 4x4 Popping noise on drivers side?

Truck has 80K. Popping duration 1-3 sec. slight feeling in floorboard/pedal. Only occurs in left turn and occasional straight driving. No vibration, power loss, or change in steering felt. Occurs at slower speeds (under 30). Casual inspection looks good. U-Joints appear good, no shavings or wear observed. Pass. Hub did feel pretty hot. Help Please

Are you having any problems with 4x4 engage/disengage. How are the hublocks? Do they turn freely? I have seen SEVERAL where they've seized. Replacement is very simple. Simply remove the big 'c' shaped retaining ring, and the hub lock just pulls out. You may want to remove the left/front hub lock and drive it, to see if the noise goes away. If it doesn't, it looks like you need a new hub %26amp; bearing assembly, which I definitely do not recommend you even think of attempting to replace yourself, unless you happen to be a mechanic yourself. Hope this helps.

Seems like you'd have ABS brakes and that one of the solenoids are getting wet.. The popping noise seems like your drivers side abs is like engaging out of no where...
CV joint destruction caused by 1. Big Tires 2. Lift Kit 3. Excessive hammering around corners. 4. Short people syndrome (listening to you loud exhaust)
Put the front of the truck on jack stands, set the e-brake and have someone turn the wheel back and forth while you inspect the front end, tie rod ends, drag link, sway bar, tie rod ends ball joints track bar...if the tie rod ends are bad you will see the joints move up and down. this is the best way to inspect the front of your truck, as with out the weight taken off the front end it will be difficult to trouble shoot the problem.
Sounds like one of your hubs is trying to engage,check the tension of the return spring inside the hub locks,,and check for constant voltage in the hub lock system,,should be off when switch is off ,you need to have this checked out before major wear takes place.
