Default 4x4 question

When I put my truck into 4h, it sounds like the front wheels/brakes are grinding and the rear wheels are being dragged. I took it to Brandon Ford and they said its normal and it should do that on paved roads. Im like gtfo!! What can I do, I known this is not normal. The rear is skipping, or like jumping. Arrghh

Have you ever had either of the rear ends worked on? Just started out of the blue? Same tires?

All right Marine. The first thing is to NOT be trying out your 4WD on pavement. (Also, that dealership guy is an idiot)

Check back after you do some trouble-shooting.
