Welcome. I'm not sure exactly what the 4.0L SOHC is good for mileage-wise, but driving around in 4WD will probably have some affect on it. But is it really that much of a concern what kind of mileage the truck gets in 4WD? You won't be using it that much, will you?

Concerning my '02 4.0 auto 4x4, I always drive with my ScanGauge II plugged in the OBD2 port, and amazingly, I get the same gas mileage in 4wd as I do in 2wd.. about 12-13mpg in 0-15 degree weather, 14.6 in colder weather (20 to 40 degrees) and 16.2 in milder weather (mostly city-ish driving). It isn't driven in warmer weather conditions, so I have no idea what that mpg would be 
I had a late 80's Toyota 4x4 that went from 20mpg in 2wd to about half that in 4wd
