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 *** 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.

 

I was wondering if there is any speed restriction wile in 4 wheel drive. If I drive to fast, will it mess up the truck?

 

Dont drive in excess of 65 as a rule with 4wd, if you are capable of going 65 as it is you should not be in 4wd anyway because you have good enough traction

 

I have the manual shift for engaging 4wd. Since it is shift on the fly, I just engage 4wd when the road is snow covered. And 2wd when the road is clear. With all the snow we got on Saturday in South Jersey, I haven't used 2wd. lol.

 

Just used the locking hub system on my sons Suzuki.
Put the jeep into 4wd hi, then got out and turned the hub locks to the lock position on the front wheels.
This thing is awesome. With the lsd in back and the locked front wheels, we went almost anywhere we wanted to go in the snow today.
Can't recomend lockers, either manual or otherwise highly enough!
Great piece of kit.
