4x4 Shift-on-the-fly problems???

has anyone experienced problems with the 4x4 hift-on-the-fly option on their trucks? I'm having apprehensions with purchasing an 2003 f150 with shift on the fly. I've always had trucks with lock-in hubs.

I have a '98 F-250 LD with shift on the fly and 180,000 miles. Mine is very unreliable. I have been told that I need a new electric motor on the back of the transfer case. About $500 for that little item...
