Hi guys,
So we've been playing around with this 2001 GV for a little bit, but I have seen some interesting behavior with it, and was wondering if it was normal. I don't remember any of this with my Sidekick back when it was stock (ish).
So, with the stock 4wd system, on dry pavement, starting off in a straight line just after having shifted into 4HI - there's enough friction/bind when you coast to keep you from having to use the brakes. Is this normal on these things?
Also, it seems that when you shift out of 4wd, it takes a trip in reverse to completely disengage the front.
We installed AISIN manual hubs today, which seem to be working properly, however, when locked and shifted into 4HI have the same issues. Including after having manually unlocked the hubs, still needing to go into reverse for a little bit to disengage the front.
Any ideas? Have I been so far cut off from the real world that I forgot how this stuff works?

Our Dodge 3500 doesn't do this.
