Hey, well hopefully when you say you decided to put your truck in 4x4 it wasn't on dry pavement. See if you use 4x4 on dry pavement it's going to want to buck, which I'm thinking is what you mean by weird noise and acting like it wants to stop. You should only use 4x4 in places where you're likely to lose traction ie sand, mud, snow, etc. Even rain is fine with 2wd and you'll probably still buck if you put it in 4x4 if it's just a small layer of water. If you just tried it on dry pavement and that's what happened then you just need to find a better place to try 4x4 and nothings wrong with the truck, hope this helps

 

its your u-joints.....i had the same problem

 

I would say its because your on dry pavement. You WILL get a hell of a lot of "hops" as i would describe it becase your wheels arent WANTING to turn at the same speed but are being FORCED to by various 4x4 parts...cant really explain cause i dont know how it works i simply know what it does and that you will tear **** up if you continue to do that.

P.S i agree with geken u dont even need it in rain and i still get the hops in the rain so i just use it in snow and thats it.
