4x4 in forward or reverse will bind while turning on dry paved roads, it's the nature of the beast. To go from 4 hi to 4 low you have to shift the transmission to neutral.

Because the front and rear axles are gonna turn at different speeds, and the transfer case on these trucks are locked, dry roads will cause a bind between the two axles. SO don't use 4x4 on dry pavement.

To go into or out of low range with an Electronic Shift On the Fly system, you need to be stopped, foot on brake, and in Neutral.

Welcome to the forums by the way! Just so you know, caps lock on the internet is considered yelling, and we can hear ya fine with out yelling.
