Could be that the front axle actuator is not fully disengaging. This could be due to a failed return spring at the actuator or a cable that is stiff.

I have had the same problem. It may be do to the 4-wheel drive system. On mine you could feel it engaging and disengaging, but most of the time the 4-wheel drive dosen't work. Let me know what it's ends up being cause I haven't gotten mine fixed yet.
