Shift On the Fly issues

It seems that my SOF switch fails about every year on my '06 F-350.
I believe it's an actuator of some sort.

Is there an upgrade so I don't have to find out my 4x4 went out when I'm stuck in the mud?

Thanks

Well for anyone that is experiencing the same problem I think I found a great video explaining how to diagnose the situation.
Hope this helps someone else...

if it was my truck I'd just forget about the using the auto mode and just manually lock the hubs in.
