Having problems where the truck Is trying to go Into 4wd by Itself. Was at a drive-thru last night and heard the transfer case motor cycling and the 4LOW light would flash for a split second and then go back out. It seemed to do It every 15 seconds and then go back to 2wd. If I turn the knob to 4wd high and back to 2wd It won't do It again for that drive. But It did It again leaving work I was on the highway doing 60 and seen the 4LOW light briefly come on and then go back out. I would think If the 4wd switch was shorting out It wouldn't actually try and shift as the shifting conditions for 4LOW aren't met. It sounds like It's going to 4wd high and then back to 2wd. But why does the 4LOW flash? 2011 2500 5.7
