Default 4 wheel drive drives like breaks are on, 2 wheel drive is fine

I have a 2002 chevy blazer, 120,000 miles on her. The issue i was havinh, the 4 wheel drive clicks in, but drives like the breaks are on, feels like the tires are locked when turning left or right. In 2 wheel drive i have no issues. What is wrong with the 4 wheel drive to cause the tires to feel like they are locked up?
Anyone have ideas to help

feelling like the truck is on the brakes while turning in 4x4 is normal. front tires are turning a different speed then the rear causing everything to bind.

if its doing it while going in a straight line then the axles have different gear ratios. ive been there when doing axle swaps, basically just use 2wd til you get stuck.

but yeah if its binding while turning its normal, dont use 4wd unless its snowing or you are off road
