No problems when in 2wd but when in 4wd and making sharp left turns the truck seems to wobble to the point that the front and rear tire take turns squealing. sounds great doesn't it? So what do you think the problem is.

what kind of surface are you driving on? if you are on concrete or blacktop you are going to screw something up. surface needs to be wet or somewhat loose so tires can slip a little.

I was on concrete. I was just ops checking it, it being a new to me truck and all. Are you telling me this is normal? If I take it out in the woods I can turn sharp w/ no probs?

That's a releif. I was cursing the son of a *** who sold me this truck. Seemed a little excessive. I would figure it would be no prob. Guess I should crack the user manual.
