If I remember correctly the actuator on the front axle has a sensor/switch that in part reports that the truck is in 4X4.
The U1477 is a transmission communication code, do you have anything aftermarket (power steps, remote start, OBD reader, etc) plugged into the CANbus? Those can sometimes cause intermittent comm issues

The only thing i have added was Factory remote start. I bought the remote start kit from my local dealership and installed my self and used ALFA OBD to activate . but it has been in the truck for over a month. the issue has only happened once and that was yesterday
