When your truck is in 4wd, all four tires are trying to rotate at the same speed (rpm) as each other. On a sharp turn, lets say to the right, the tires on the inside of the turn (the right side of your truck) actually travel a shorter linear distance than the tires on the outside of the turn (left side of your truck), but they are all turning at the same rpm. That "giddy/pumping" motion is the tires on one side rotating but not moving forward (rotating in place). While it may feel like your truck is breaking, this is a good way to ensure that your 4wd is working properly. Did that answer your question? I can try to explain another way if this didn't make sense. As to your additional information: Not necessarely, there's nothing wrong or less effective with your differentials (front and rear). I believe that if you had slip differentials you wouldn't have true four wheel drive. I'm partial to the setup you've got.<br><b>References : </b><br> Don't worry, this is normal.
