What always worked for me on the older Yukons was to get on some gravel road as hard surface just made it worse, then roll backwards in reverse slowly while still moving shift into neutral and then take it out of 4Lo. Might have to do it more than once but it always worked.

Agreed.
The front wheels need to be able to “slip” a bit on wet roads or loose gravel when turning.

At a complete stop put tranny in neutral. Then put Tcase into neutral. Then shift Tcase to 2wd,4wd HI or Auto 2wd. And dont ever think about racing the SUV in 4wd LO unless you want to pick the pieces of your Tcase off the road. 4wd LO makes a YUGE amount of torque at the wheels(At low vehicle speed), it is not designed for any form of normal use driving.
