Can anyone please tell me what would cause the left front tire to not be pulling in 4x4? Iv noticed the last 2 times I have needed 4x4 that the left front tire is not pulling at all which sux when I have the other 3 tires in the mud and that one is the one on the dry ground.
Does the other front tire pull? If it is, then that is normal behavior. Front differential is open, not posi, so, the tire with the least traction, gets ALL the torque.
You need a limited slip differential or an air locker for the front if you want them both to spin. The Tru Trac or ARB air locker are supposed to be good. Put one in the back and all 4 will turn. Tire chains are a cheap option,make sure they are tight though.
