you have the manual 4wd shift i believe (since you have a 98 model) so you might have to back up after you switch it into 4wd in order for it to disengage, the only reason shutting it off would do it is because you leave it sitting and the force acting on the mechanisms is released
the clicking noise, did you check the drum brakes? the auto adjusters on them click, but that is usually when you back up and stop really quickly

The transfer case isn't disengaging properly. There is too much axel bind. Do the revers action I talked about in those threads to disengage then add some friction modifier to the rear differential.

Only use 4X4 when you need it. I like to stop when engaging or disengaging 4X4. JI don't care if the transfer case is shift on the fly or not I still stop. Also I shift into 4X4 and put it in drive then reverse then drive to make sure it is locked in. Pulling it out back into 2wd I always stop shift, put it in drive, reverse 20 yards, then drive. I have had problems in muti vehicles with shifting in and out of 4X4 so I always take extra time to make sure it is in and out.
