Default 4wd gearing?

I bought a 2003 crewcab silverado 2 weeks ago. The truck is perfect but the 4wd is horrible. I am no mechanic, but is seems as though the front wheels turn slower than the rear, so rather than the front end pulling around the turn it gets pushed straight ahead. Hopefully that makes sense. I have talked with a few freinds, etc who have had or heard of this same type of thing. IT is very dangerous onslick roads. What do I do??? thanks

Look in your glove box and find the codes that start with G, I can check these to see if they put the right ratios in the box at least.

GT4 is 3:73 rear end, G80 is limited slip. There should be one more for the front end ratio.

You can check the ratio by marking the tire and marking the drive shaft, turn the tire one rotation and see how many times the drive shaft revolves. Compare the front to the back, it is easier and safer if this is done with the vehicle on stands.
