It could very well possibly be that the IWE solenoid causes the same symptoms. Im just saying he should try tapping on the TC motor. Couldn't hurt.

Okay so i finally got to order the iwe solenoid, went to autozone and advance junk and batteries, had the part in their computer but could NOT order it because apparently Dorman mfg didnt have it in their factory...called Ford dealership, said he could have one in a week for $45..got on google and searched for it and found it for 18 from amazon, its on its way...only thing is it looks like its in some kind of cover, different than the bracket on my firewall now, like its been redesigned to keep out rain or snow...is this the right part? says it fits and the part # is 600400 same as at autozone and advance.

I've been having this problem for a few months now. I ordered the update IWE Solenoid from Amazon and have it installed. I thought that fixed the problem until yesterday when I tried to engage the 4wd again and nothing happened. Will have to tap on the transfer case today to see if that does the trick. I'm assuming the truck should be running when you do this? Do you have to have either 4-hi or 4-lo engaged on the ESOF when you tap it? Thanks.

you might wanna check your vacuum lines...
the 4 wheel drive works off of vacuum, the vacuum pulls the front hubs in and out... they can sometimes pull off of the inside if your hub in the steering knuckle. i'll try n find the vacuum diagram
they can also get water in them
