Did the service 4wd light come on? Have you been through a lot of deep snow and packed up under the truck?

my guess would be that its the vacuum actuator switch located on the firewall they fail commonly and cause the lights to flash without the service 4wd light coming on ive had this part go twice on me with the same symptoms as you have

Hey sry I just noticed the 6.3 haha it's a 4.3 and I went through a couple deep drifts in my driveway haven't looked under and my dads painting a car in the heated garage. And do you know why the vaccum goes out just wondering

And there was no service 4x4 light on either
