I have a 2000 F250 Super Duty two wheel drive. I have both rear wheels lifted off the ground to check the brakes. It seemed like the left brake was sticking so I put the transmission in neutral. I started the engine and the rear wheels began to turn under the engine's power. Should the wheel's turn with the engine when in neutral?

This is perfectly normal; the term for this is neutral drag.
