Hello all.
I don't have much experience with 4 x 4. We got several inches of heavy wet snow last night. I was in a parking lot and made a fairly sharp turn. My steering wheel was not "pegged" to the limit but close. I had 4 x 4 H engaged.
With the wheel turned sharply the truck "bucked" or "lurched" very significantly as I drove in a tight circle. I was going very slow - at a creep. I tried it both left and right and same thing. I backed off on the steering wheel a bit and didn't turn quite as tight and it was fine. The parking lot is paved but with the wet icy snow there should have been plenty of slip.
Is this normal/typical for 4 x 4 when making super tight turns? I'm thinking with the various front end shafts and such at extreme angles it might just be torque build up in the front end?
Truck is 2019 XLT with about 13 K miles and otherwise runs like a top. Mode was 4H at the time.
