Default Buying an 03 h2....Need help with the 4x4.

The hummer is an 2003 with adventure package and with air ride.It has 99000 miles and never been in accident...But i drove it today and noted something weird on the 4x4.
When making a turn with the steering wheel crancked all the way either to the left or to the right the wheels feel like they "sticking" to the ground and the truck stops if i dont keep pressing the gas.I can even hear a "scrathing noise" coming from the rear wheels.
Is this normal on the h2's?
I use to own 4x4 trucks before and remember this had happened with it but when i had the truck on 4x4 hi...
Tomorrow he is going to bring the truck to my mechanic to take a look and depends on what it is i'll decide to buy or not...

Thanks a lot

Default

There are three 4x4 control buttons on the right side of the dash.
Do you know which one is pushed and lite up?
It should be the top one only for everyday use.

Try stopping the truck, put in neutral and press all 3 buttons at once and it will put the 4x4 settings in neutral / towing mode.
Then press the top button and put back in drive and all should be normal.

Good Luck and hope this takes care of it for you.

I did a little search before getting into this stuff...I know(after fighting with the owner) that the top one 4hi is the one for all the time.And the two others are the locking ones 4hi and 4lo..And the round one should be used only with the 4lo on mud,snow situations...But it looks like the truck is in 4lo all the time tho...And the light is on on the 4hi ( the one for everyday use).If i switch between the buttons they work fine and u can hear the 4lo engaging..
So in other words this is NOT NORMAL right?
Something is wrong them...I going to reset the thing tomorrow e see what's up..Damm i liked that h2 man....

Sounds like it's in 4 HI Lock. The button right above the neutral (N line) should be the one pressed.
