4x4 question

[Jon Kincer]

When I was coming home from work the other day in the snow I had my ST in 4x4 high and when I went to pull into my parking space outside of my house it felt like because I had the wheel turned all the way that the truck didn't want to move. I was scared to push it in case something was binding but when you are in 4x4 is your turning radius wider or could there be something wrong with the front diff?

Were you on dry pavement when you were turning?



Did you try it with the 4x4 off?

I think you were getting traction on a solid surface with your front tires... it's normal if you drive it on dry pavement, but it's also bad if you continue to do so...

With your wheels turned all the way you will feel binding. When pulling into parking spaces/driveways etc. I usually turn off my 4x4.
