Hello Everyone,

My truck has a weird issue at slow left/right sharp turns. It will start with a howling screech (like metal binding) then the tire feels like 4x4 is engaging and the front tires start screeching and hopping(Inside turn tire) when turning . It normally only did it when I first would start the truck now its all the time, It also does not do it in reverse, only drive? I am assuming its something related to the front Diff? I can put the truck in 4x4 low/high and it engages and disengages no problem. Not really sure whats going on. Any ideas at what to look at under the truck? I might try to make a video this weekend to give a better idea of what I am talking about.
 






It's probably the 4x module, which is separate from the PCM on the '02. Search the forums and you'll find plenty of discussion. Part #'s have to match on this one.
