Check for dry rotted vacuum lines behind the power brake booster and make sure the line to the reservoir in the left front fender is attached. That sounds like a vacuum actuator type problem.
Checking the actuator and cable is also a good idea as is resetting the transfercase module. There are quite a few who have had similar problems.
