That's what I'd check for, including the steel lines and plastic and rubber connectors etc. Think they have some steel lines here and there that rust like the brake lines.

Yes 2 steel lines that run along the pass side frame rail from the trans X member tothe font axle.

Take a close look at the rubber connectors that go from the steel lines tothe plastic lines , if they are soaked from a trans or oil leak they can swell and lose their seal .

9 times out of 10 it's the vacuum switch on the Transfer case or the lines. I'd bet on the switch.
