Yup that sounds like a vaccuum issue... Sorry I dont have a 4WD truck so I can't be of much help, but I'm sure someone will chime in here.

Do a search on vacuum leaks and 4wd on here and you should find all you need to know. Most have gone with something like Posi-loc, I am planning on converting mine this summer.

Good luck. Let us know what you find.
