it cant switch into 4x4 by itself. you have to manually turn the knob in order for the 4x4 to engage. it sounds like the prblem is not in the brakes but in the "self engaging" 4x4. if 4x4 is engaged in dry pavement then it will cause binding in the front end that makes it feel like the brakes are being applied.im not very familiar with 4x4 systems though i believe the 4x4 selector knob is an input to a GEM module,not much else i can tell you
