Intermittent squeak in 4WD

Intermittent squeak in 4WD
I've got a 2004 Ram 2500 Auto Trans. It is on the road/highway for 99+ % of my driving and I drive it about 5000 miles per year. I haven't had any kind of load on it or pulling for at least 2 years. Recently I was in one of those rare times out in the desert when I needed to use 4WD and for the first time ever I got an occasional high pitch squeak. I did not leave it in 4WD long enough to see if it went away if I drove it that way more than a few hundred yards, to warm up those parts involved that might not already be warmed up. Just for a test, I took it out today and tried it again, and again in a distance of maybe 1/4 mile it squeaked a few times. As I said it is a very high pitched squeak and didn't sound like anything in the differential, but just to be safe a checked the fluid in the differential and it appears to be as it should be. Any ideas what it might be? Should I be concerned? Should I take it out and drive it in 4WD for a longer distance and see if it goes away. Obviously I didn't already do that because I don't want to risk doing expensive damage.
Thanks for any help!!!
