The push button 4-wheel drive switch works part time. The computer can be reset and it will work for a while. At times you can become stuck in 2-hi, 4-hi, and even 4-lo. The connection at the shift motor/encoder was removed, cleaned, coated will dielectric gel, and the bolt that holds it in place was coated with loctite. This cured problem for approximately 2 weeks. This procedure has been performed three times inwhich it only cured the problem for a minimal time. I have spoke with dealers in the area and they know nothing. I feel this is a problem that should be recalled. I viewed the customer complaintes and noticed many had complained about the same symptoms(odi id-531922, 538102, 985135,472910). This might be expected if offroaded hard, my truck is used as a truck but not abused. Please help.
