I had a similar problem on my '98.
I think it's something to do with the speed sensors (there are 2 located on
the transfer case)
I got underneath, disconnected the sensors, then reconnected them,
disconnected the battery for 10 mins, reconnected it and hey presto no more
problem. (and that was last September)
