1997 F-SERIES. IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES "ON" OR DTCS P0401/P0455/ P1537/P1538 APPEAR, OR 4X4 IS INOPERATIVE, CHECK FOR TRACES OF WHITE POWDER RESIDUE ON THE VACUUM HARNESSES NEAR THE BATTERY. IF FOUND, REPLACE HARNESSES AS NECESSARY. THE RESIDUE IS AN ASSEMBLY PLANT GENERATED CONDITION ONLY WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED TRACES OF BATTERY ACID TO BE EXPELLED DURING THE VEHICLE CLEANING PROCESS. CONTINUE WITH DIAGNOSTICS PER THE 1997 POWERTRAIN CONTROL/EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL IF THE CONDITION PERSISTS  let me know if this helps you.
