Hen I put it in 4 wheel high, it feels like my ebrake is on. Anyone know what the deal is I just bought this truck it's a 2001 super crew 5.4

What do you mean, does the truck not want to move? Are you trying it on pavement and turning cause that can cause it to catch too much and act up.

Well when I started driving on the pavement it started jumping.

Your not supposed to use your four wheel drive on pavement. It can mess with the drivetrain.

That is what I have been told by people more mechanically inclined than I. I could be wrong, but I know that 4 wheel feels a heck of a lot different on pavement than it does on the trails. In Low you can hardly turn on pavement and the tires chirp constantly, not as bad in Hi, but still chirps and difficulty turning. In fact, on the trails, if I need to turn around, I throw it back in 2 wheel to complete a turn, when it's appropriate.

x2, 4x4 is not supposed to be operated on dry, hard surfaces such as concrete. The wheels are actually spinning at slightly different speeds which accounts for the chirping and weird turning. Driving on pavement with 4x4 on puts un-necessarily strain on 4x4 components and can damage them.
