2001 Weird 4x4 issue

2001 F350 4x4
5.4l 139,000
Warn Locks New February 2010
Two brand new hubs in February 2010.

After the first decent snow this year, I wanted to make sure my 4x4 was is working order for the upcoming winter season. Locked my hubs. Switched it over to 4 high.

Everything goes as normal (I believe). But, I am getting a wicked hop when turning left(more than usual). Not trusting it, went to put it back into 2wd. Neutral. Switched it down. Reversed a good 20 ft for good measure.

Didn't come out of it. Unlocked my hubs to be sure that I wouldn't have to deal with it for the time being.

Problem: 4x4 light is still on on dashboard.
Wicked hop turning left.

Im curious to see if it's a bad switch maybe since it's not switching back down to 2wd.

Also, do I need to put a little penetrating oil on my joints down there to maybe free everything up a little bit?
