Click to expand... yes, it still spins when you're in 2wd because it's still engaged from the axle end. Reactions: xXDavidCXx and LittleGiant

Click to expand... Yeah. Older trucks, like OBS Fords, have hubs that you engage. We don't have those. Some people that are geared pretty low will use engagable hubs to eliminate vibes on the road.

If it seizes, it will split your tcase in half. Just pull the front shaft out until you get it fixed. Reactions: Murf926, rouxbicon, Grant Lasson and 1 other person
