So I was under the truck today and was looking around checking boots and things and I tried to turn a drive axle... it wouldn't turn. So I grabbed the front drive shaft and it wouldn't turn. They would only move about a 1/2 inch or something and then clunk, like the front hubs were locked. I had just driven the truck an hour earlier so I wouldn't think vacuum would have leaked down but I started the truck and listened for anything to engage/disengage in the hubs and nothing... still couldn't turn driveshaft.
As I understand it from other posts, the hubs and trans case disengage with vacuum, and if no vacuum, hubs are in locked position. But when truck is running, I should have vacuum and hubs should be free as long as switch is in 2.
Soooooo... what gives?
