In another forum, another person has a problem with their Excursion hub being stuck/locked in the auto position. He was told to take it apart and check the needle bearings and overhaul the hub, could this be the problem? Or was he disengaging the 4x system incorrectly?
He has the ESOF system too, I mentioned backing up, but I was told this would not work. I seems no one has an answer for him. I thought you guys would know. I consider this forum to be the 4x4 experts.

Well, backing up is useless on this type of system. The poster of this thread was just disengaging incorrectly. If the actual hub that you turn on the wheel is stuck, then I'm not sure what the problem is, but rebuilding sounds like the right idea. If his truck is stuck in 4wheel low, just do what I said earlier. Other than that I'm not sure.
It should shift on the fly out of 4wheel hi.
