I know it's not healthy, but sometimes I read shit the wrong way if I'm pissy from a bad day, or feeling pressure from more than just the usual factors of life. I've been stressed about more than my fair share of shit lately.

Thanks for some understanding from time to time.

Ah, ….seems my memory is telling me most Dodge 4x front ends have been full time for quite some time. I've seen front axle u-joints seize up just enough to create steering problems. If that is what's happening, you can easily check it by getting the front and rear axles up on stands and turn the wheel to full lock left, and full lock right while the 4x is engaged...and if you hear and feel a bunch of banging and jerking....one or both of them are partially seized up....and might be causing your handling issue.

Depending how motivated I am, I was going to do u-joints and bushings. As of right meow, I have ZERO motivation for it. But would gladly bring my truck to you with a case of beer and we can drink and fix it :D

If it isn't full time, just get the front on stands and go lock to lock and spin the axle by hand. You'll know right away.

The 3rd Gen+ straight axle Dodge/Ram 2500/3500 only disconnect at the transfer case. EVERYTHING else from wheel to shaft spins all the time. They do make aftermarket PT hub kits, but the good ones are pricey.

2nd Gen had a center axle disconnect. Still no locking hubs.

Lots of people converted that CAD to a manual cable, which got you 2wd low if needed.

My entire family went to Starbucks, and ordered tall ice coffee with our own personal starbucks tumbler. I brought my 24oz, and they filled it up. I drank it all, and had another refill of 24oz.
I am STILL drinking the leftover ice coffee from 2pm.
My guess is on a 24oz cup, ~14oz is actual coffee and ~10oz of volume is ice. So, I am finishing up ~28oz of ice coffee without sweetner nor creamer.
