2004 F350 - Transfer case problem?

I have a 2004 F350 w/ automatic transmission.

In 4WD, the truck rolls while the transmission is in park.

Take the truck out of 4WD, and the transmission works fine and does not roll in park.

When the truck is in 4WD and running there are no forward gears, only reverse.

Anyone else ever have this problem?

does your truck have the 4x4 switch on the dash or the lever on the floor?

Never heard of this before. You're sure you're in 4HI or 4LO instead of Neutral, right? In between the two is Neutral which will disconnect your transmission from your driveshafts.

If the T-case is in Neutral it would roll when in park. But it would also do nothing in drive or reverse.

If you can go backwards but not forwards in 4HI then something is wrong with your t-case. Don't know the specifics of what could do that, but someone on here might.

Edited:
The Manual T-case is,,
2H
4H
N
4L
shifter is normally in 2H,,pull back into 4H,,next notch is offset to N,,then last is 4L,,,!
If your shifter is in 4x4H,,,and the truck rolls as if in Neutral,,,,something must be Broke!!
