Do you have a LSD in the rear end? maybe it is low on oil or friction modifier

Any LSD available for our trucks would work the same whether in 2wd or 4wd, so I doubt it's a LSD issue, my guess is it's a transfer case issue...

Are you trying to turn on hard surface like a paved driveway or the road or something? Are you maybe feeling the front end locking up and "hopping" as your tryin to turn in 4wd on dry and binding everything uip?
