My truck is turn knob auto 4wd and was put into 4lo the other week. I did not notice and drove it down hwy for about 9 miles. The truck at first would not cut the 4wd lights or o/d lights on dash and u could tell it was stuck in 4 lo. I got it to finnaly to get the lights off and I thought out of 4wd but ever since it has driven weird. When you get to like 50 mph it starts to vibrate and shake very bad and sounds like the motor is not shifting but the rpms go down to 2000 . also when I brake it feels like it is hopping to a stop so to say. I do get brand new tires and rims put on the truck the rims are 20's. I noticed today that when I move forward or reverse in truck the front drive shaft is turning as well.

have a pro scan it may be something that they can't read as they can only read engine/trans codes. it would still need to be physically looked at anyhow might be something broken like a mount or axle
