Problem with 4wd
Okay, this is a little hard to explain so bare with me. When I put my truck in 4wd and turn a corner, the front end jumps,jerks or pulls pretty hard not sure how you'd describe it. I have problems in normal drive with my tires rubbing but that's if I crank the wheel. I'm not cranking the wheel when this happens. Anyone have this happen before?

Yes, does this on all the truck in 4wd if your on dry pavement and turn the wheel. this is because during the radius of the turn the front/back tires (depending on open, LS diff, both do it) will be turning at the same speed, while in a turn, technically the front tires while turned should be at a different speed. Ok well that probably didn' make much since. Hopefully it did. but yes if your on dry pavement this will happen in 4wd. hope this helps!

its normal to hop like that in 4wd even on snow in tight corners. Do it on dry pavement and you might break something! It will even happen with just the hubs lock but in 2wd but not as bad.

I agree with the others that this is typical when turning while in 4wd.
Did the truck just start doing this? How's the front end? Might be a
good idea to check the condition & lube your axle u-joints.

It is normal. You probably didn't notice it in the mud or on grass since that allows the tires to slip easier than pavement or packed snow.
