Default Shake in 4 wheel drive

Hey gang

Sorry if this was posted, i did perform a search and didnt see it..

This is my first truck, so im guessing you pro's will say "Yeah that normal"

I just noticed when i put the TRX in 4 wheel drive (4 wheel lock) driving in the rin the other day roads were very slippery and the back end was everywhere (maybe i jut need BFG AT/TA or Duratracks) i noticed the truck shutters in 4 wheel drive??? is this normal ? Its was weird, but the truck kind of vibrated a bit..... tough to describe, but it might be a normal thing for trucks in 4wheel drive

4wd is not for use on pavement unless that pavement happens to be covered in snow/ice! The front and rear axles cannot turn at different speeds in 4wd, so things will bind on high traction surfaces.

4WD is not the same as AWD.
