Anyone ever get in their truck and feel like the 4wd turned on by itself?

Mine going in the shop in a couple weeks for that problem. I get in and start it up and it will be in 4WD and I have a heck of a time getting it out. At the same time I get a flashing warning to check my 4WD. The service rep was able to scan it and found a couple or three codes thrown in the way of the diff. and lock actuator. Will post after I get it fixed with more detail.

Thanks for the replies, theres been a few times ive gotten in and it would be in 4 hi and once in 4 low. The last instance my rear axel was locked, didnt catch it until i heard my driver wheel skidding when backing out of my driveway.

I have not. But I have had it feel like it wouldn't let go right away when I shifted back to 2WD on pavement. It cleared up after a few turns. Have you been testing things?
I feel the same way sometimes. Just feels sluggish after you use it.

Turned out to be the transfer case control module. The part is on backorder for who knows how long so I picked my truck up today and just cross my fingers every time I start it up.
