I have a 99 Exp with Automatic 4x4, and 4.6L.
The background: When I first bought the truck at auction it was stuck in 4x4 all the time when the selector was in A4H, but the 4x4 light on the dash was not on. I took it to the shop and some c-clips in the transfer case had been 'sprung' and I fixed them. All was good for a while.
The now: The truck now is stuck in 4x4 when you first start it up, until you get to about 60-70kph or so. You can then hear the 4x4 dissengage and the 4x4 light on the dash starts blinking, but at least it is now in 2wd. For short trips around town, I don't get to 60kph and being in 4x4 all the time is very hard on the truck and I suspect it would soon lead to the same problem I had when I bought the truck.
The solution(?): I suspect there's a problem with some type of slip sensor (pardon my ignorance). I had looked in the haynes manual when I first bought the truck, but don't remember the exact parts/sensor/switches that make up the system.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

btw: love my truck otherwise!!
