what he said. check the two lines going to the actuator on the axle back to the transfer case and to the vacuum pump most are a semi ridged plastic or steel and have rubber wye and tee fittings that get broken down.

I had the exact same problem on my 97, I replaced and checked and double checked everything and never could find the problem! So I said screw it and bought one of these 4x4 Posi-Lok - 4WD Engagement Systems. I have never had a problem since, well worth the money and so easy to install.
