Light indictor says it's out of P/T 4WD, but still in. Unless I drive in reverse for a bit, then it's out - Why? And what can I do?

That was a common issue with older vehicles, but yours shouldn't do it. Have you ever serviced the transfer case?

No I haven't. But I will - should I check anything else?

Lets start there. That is the cheapest and easiest fix. Check it first for condition and level. Also, is 10K miles correct?
