Anyone having trouble getting into 4 high or shifting out, mine takes about a 100 pounds of pressure to activate, in gear idling, or rolling any speed foot off gas, it is a 2013 ram 2500 4 x4 hemi

That sounds strange. Mine snicks in and out while rolling quite easily.

A little effort when it is a little bound up like after spinning the rear tires and burying them, then going into 4WD. That takes a bit of a tug, but nothing like you are experiencing.

It does like to be rolling little bit though.

Has it done it since new?

Are the wheel / tires stock?

Are they inflated equally, or close to it?

Does it feel the same if the truck is in Park or Neutral and you try to push / pull the lever?

This is travelling in a straight line, correct?

Something is not right. It should not require that much force.

It feels like it is a frozen cable, 17 below zero today, going to wait for a warm shop and remove cable, it was shifting in and out with ease, have not crossed deep water, did a body lift kit, but worked fine until it got cold, its got to be bound up in cable, a litle heat and some lube, will see
