Frontend locking?
I have an 03 F250 4x4, bought used about a month ago. I have had 2 occasions when I go to back out of the driveway or a parking space, I need to give it some throttle to move. It almost felt like the frontend locked. Any ideas?

Just a FYI, my left side was not disengaging properly, the stealer had to replace the hub. You could feel the left front "gripping" when doing a 2-3 mph hard turn.
This happened at 17k miles.
The dummies put the wrong hub in too!
The new one said LOCK/UNLOCK instead of LOCK/AUTO.
Wasn't just labeled wrong, it was internally different.
I pointed this out to the mech and he said, oh, we'll have to fix that, can you leave it for a day?
GRRRRR!!!!
Anyone know if you have to do like the old days, unlock and back up 10 feet to totally disengage?
