Learn something new every day. I knew the Super Duty's had the vacuum hubs that can also be manuall engaged but did not know the F-150s had the vacuum portion of the system.

For the other question, yes I believe it is the solenoid (not sure if where the battery is at) but pretty sure it is on the driver's side firewall area. On my brother-in-laws trucks it would randomly try to engage 4wd while cruising down the road.
