You're going to let the dealer pry on your wife?! You should get your disconnect changed for free at least!

I'm going to have to pull this out.

:facepalm:

Your 4WD system is binding up because you're in a situation where no wheels are allowed to slip during a turn. I believe the vehicle manual even goes over that.

that is what I was thinking, if you are on a hard surface, unless you are going exactly straight ahead it is like you are on pavement in 4WD.

Jeff. I combined your two IDENTICAL threads into one. You asked the same question 6 months ago. Do not do this again. You should be searching before posting your troubleshooting question anyways, so you should have found this thread.

Also, I noticed that nearly all threads that you have started have subjects that do not relate to your thread at all. From now on, please phrase your 'subject' to match the subject of your thread. For instance, I'm changing this thread subject to: "4WD binding up in turn". This is done so future noobies, like you, can find their answer through a search.

Please assist us in these ways. I guess this can be called a "warning"... aka "public berating".

As it happens, I didn't go into this thread until this morning, because I remembered the thread from several months ago, and figured somebody just bumped it...
