When I put my Dodge 2008 Ram 1500 4 wheel drive auto trans in 4 wheel drive, the "Service 4 wheel drive" light came on. I have 82,000 miles on it.
On my way home on the freeway, the engine sped up and went into neutral. I pulled over and the truck would not move forward or backward. So I put it in 4 wheel drive, heard a clank and then it went into gear. I was able to drive home in 4 wheel drive.
When I got home, I took it out of 4 wheel drive and the truck moved fine in drive and reverse.
Tried it again 10 minutes later and the truck would not go into gear until I put it back in 4 wheel drive. When I do put it in 4 wheel drive, it makes a slight clunk as it goes into gear. I can then take it out of 4 wheel drive and it works for a while and then goes into neutral again.
Any help/clues as to what might be going on and how to fix it?

No way to check if it’s the t-case slipping. as far as I know. Maybe check the linkage on the transfer case and make sure everything is tight and lined up right so it’s not popping into neutral from vibrations
