If you feel binding, then you probably don't need 4wd to start off with, as the ground conditions are not allowing the wheels on the front/rear of the truck to move in relation to each other.
You must have poor traction with regards to road/track surfaces, to allow dissimilar speeds between the axles, as they are locked together in 4wd.

i dont see how you blew a steering pump i think you must have been doing something else and you are the only one with that problem and i know what you mean sometimes it feels like the wheel is a lot more solid in 4x4 than normal it happened to me once and its never done that
Armaby explained it perfectly; the transfercase drives the front and rear driveshafts at the same RPM, and in a turn every wheel spins at a different RPM. The differentials can take up the difference between the wheels they're attached to, but there is no way to take up the difference front to back. Either the wheels scuff, or the drivetrain loads up and eventually the torque converter slips (but the static torque on the shafts remain).

So why can't these cheap ass manufacturers put diffs in the transfer cases?
Buy an awd jeep if you want diff in the transfer case.
The binding is a natural aspect of the four wheel drive. That's why you can't run mismatched tires on a 4x4 too. 4wd is for low traction situations, not on dry pavement.
