2010 Truck Jumps/Kicks in 4WD High—Any Aftermarket Fixes?

I’ve got a 2010 truck that I usually drive in 2WD, but with the recent snow here in the Northeast, I switched to 4WD High. When I cut the wheel (especially during sharp turns like parking or getting out of a tight spot), the truck jumps and kicks back and forth, making it really hard to steer smoothly.

I know this is common on part-time 4WD systems because of drivetrain binding, but I’m wondering:

• Is there an aftermarket part or mod that can help reduce this binding or make turning smoother?
• Would upgrading anything in the drivetrain (transfer case, differentials, etc.) help?
• Any tips or tricks for handling this more easily in snowy/icy conditions?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

 

Use 4WD only when the road is snow covered. It sounds like you’re binding the driveline on clear pavement.

 

It has been non-stop snow here so I was using it in the snow/slush -- I mostly want to make sure I am not causing any damage when I cut the wheel or try and take a hard turn in the snow

 

Best to just take it out of 4wd if you've got enough traction to bind.
