Not yet... It hasn't done it...

I took my son and we went driving over bumps and rough terrain while turning to see if I could make it happen...

Got nothing... Even tried with hubs locked and then in 4 wheel drive..

It kind of felt like it with hubs locked, but couldn't tell if it was just caused by using on dry pavement

That's what I'm thinking...

Hopefully you son will be around the next time it does it so he can look at it while I drive or move the wheels

With the hubs locked in and the transfer in neutral. If it does it, the hubs are at fault.

My next thing I might try is put the truck on a lift and run the 4 wheel drive and turn the wheels when they are off the ground
