+1 on this. Happened to me as soon as I bought mine. One way to check is to disconnect the transfer case shift motor. There is a hard as heck plug to reach on-top of the motor itself. Make sure the truck is in 2wd, disconnect the battery, unplug the transfer case shift motor (it has a slider you might have to pry up), reconnect the battery. Drive for a few days and if the problem disappears, start searching online for a rebuilt shift motor.
I would agree with you on this except that motor doesn't operate with the remote door opener control - that's why I'm suggesting he listen to the doors.

Maybe but when mine was broken it would shift as soon as any power cut on so when I unlocked with keyless entry it would go in and out of 4wd a couple of times. It gets power some how.

Had the same problem - the transfer case motor would start cycling every time I unlocked the doors with the keyfob. It would also try to shift into 4wd low when driving which was a little scary not to mention hard on the transfer case. If I were you I would pull the fuse for the motor located in the fuse box under the hood until you can get it replaced. Pulling the fuse would also help you confirm the motor is what you are hearing.

That's very interesting - I guess I'm wrong. I never would have thought that an auto door opener would have interfered with a TC shift motor. Sorry about that. Pianist, I guess you can pull your ear away from the door now
