Hi XL and Suburban guys,
I have a new to me 2000 Yukon XL 4x4 and when I crank the steering wheel all the way left or right/full lock low speed in 2wd the tires stutter/chirp almost like it is in four wheel drive.
I haven't had time yet to look into it but am wondering before I worry too much is this a normal trait for the truck?
When I shift from 2wd to 4wd I hear both the transfer-case and front diff motors working.The selector switch lights as it should when switched back and fourth.
Thanks in advance.

Coming from the front? The rear may do that with a locker if one has been installed. My tires squeal in parking lots when turning hard also. That comes from the geometry on the front suspension.
