Question for all you guys with 4x4 trucks (or those that are knowledgeable about how it all works)

If I put the truck in 4-High and turn, I feel the front end jerking... which I understand as one tire is pulling and one pushing... but should the truck feel like its in a bind... almost like driving with the E-brake on?

In 4 Low, the truck will barely get above a crawl and you can hear a whine.

Is this something I should take it and have checked out with my $100 deductible extended warranty? (truck has 40k miles on it)

If something is wrong, I'd like to have it fixed before the wet season gets here and I need to use the 4x4.

Ok... so do you think I should take it to the shop and have it checked?

I understand the jerking on dry pavement... my question is about should the truck feel like it is REALLY working to move when in 4H or 4L and turning or backing up?

I understand that 4x4 is not meant for dry pavement, and I did this on grass in a field beside my house, if you re-read my posts you will see that I never said I did it on dry pavement :rules: . If I am going in a straight line, everything is fine. It is when I turn that everything feels that it binds up, especially if turning and going in reverse. Then when I straighten out it makes a funny sound and gets better again.


It is hard to explain on here...and I apologize if I am doing a poor job of it :neutral:

Oh yeah... the crawling... I went back outside and put it in 4L again and after it got out of first gear in the straight line it acted more like I thought it should

I'm just gonna take it into the shop and if nothin' is wrong, then I'll just look like an idiot.. :lol:

I'm gonna run it by 4 Wheel Performance here in town first and see what they think... I was going to go by and look at some rims anyway
