Without having any information about your truck it's hard to diagnose. First thing that everyone will say for ESOF is check your vacuum lines for leaks. Can you turn the hubs easily from "manual" to "auto"? Have your serviced your front hub etc. There are lots of variable but nothing really hard to deal with. Just provide more details on your truck.

There are two relays, one to shift INTO 4x4, the other to shift OUT of 4x4.

There are in a small box near the power distribution box near the master cylnder. On my 2001 V10, they are in the forward-most small box.
