Did you ever find out what was wrong? I think I have the same problem with my 2003 F150 KR 4X4. Thanks!

yes i did figure it out. it was the shift fork in the front diff. there are two plastic pieces on the shift fork that were broken off and gone. seems to me that its a cheap design for that part. it cost me around $180 for the part (it comes in a kit). from ford. i did find it a little cheaper on net but did not want to wait as truck was apart. it took me about five to six hours to do altogether. hope this helps
