i just drove 900 miles last week fron minneapolis to denver. i first noticed this problem when i entered CO. the problem i am having is that my truck does not seem to want to move while in drive and the wheels are turned all the waay in either direction. i can go when i step on the gas but i didnt ever need to beore. it will also idoly move when the wheels are straight but then will struggle when i turn the wheels. i thought it might be tire pressure so i checked the pressure and all the wheels were short pressure(im thinking this is from the thinner air). i have bf goodrich all terrain tires on my truck and they were all at 36-37 when they should be 50 psi. so i filled the tires and that didnt fix the problem. does anyone know what might cause this? is it a major problem or could be safely driven back to minnesota in 2 weeks?
 
First I would check to see if the 4WD was accidentally engaged. Especially 4lo which is not a road gear. If that's not the case then check with a mechanic because that is one odd problem! Good luck.
 
Is this a new size tire- did you go larger? They might be rubbing the inside of the tire against the inside of the fender. Look for shiny rub marks on your insides of the fenders.
