Hey guys. The first time ive checked my sierra into 4H today and locked the front hubs in. But when i make a turn the wheels start locking up and gets tight/jammed. Now i know what lockers are etc and how diffs work but im unfamiliar with 4wd mode as ive never used it.

Any help or ideas/ is this normal when in 4wd mode?

cheers in advance!

not a good idea using 4wd on high traction surfaces

ON tar ouch!!! What you are experiencing is wind-up. Not good for any of the drive train! 4x4 is only to be used on low traction surfaces where the tires will slip, not tar!

geez lucky i didnt break anything.
Its just that i have a slight growling noise coming from underneath backing off and on accelerator and thought it might be the rear diff. So i disconnected the rear tail shaft and drove it home on the front diff in 4wd mode. But massive vibration when i done that. so pulled over and slipped the rear shaft back on. No vibration in 4wd.

really lucky i didnt stuff anything

You shouldn't have any vibrations running with the rear shaft out and in 4H. It sounds like you have other problems as well

Did you disengage the hubs when you put the rear shaft back in?
