i think the front end has an open diff... if your hearing clicking something might be wrong..

some correct me if im high on crack... but when im spinning in 4HI i normally only have 1 wheel spinning in some cases.. every now and then i can get both to spin.... i also need a air lock in the front,, my LSD in the rear works liek a champ.. just the front kinda sucks

feels like my front end is jumping around and keep hear a clunking noise.. but i pretty much know its the front end switching sides.. like yeah one tire spins at a time but they switch up every second trying to grab traction.. when you have your wheel cut all the way its REAL bad

Thats not your front end, its your rear end Mine does the same thing, and its actually pretty bad for it, so when it does it just let off the gas a bit. I forgot what its called, axle torqueing or something. Old muscle cars use to do the same thing when they would roast the tires. They just welded some rods on there to stableize the axle though.

If you have the wheels turned over half way the axle/hub u joints will bind.
I have the factory front axle, which I'm sure is open, but while pulling trees down that get hung up while cutting down and dragging to cut up, my front will dig two holes.

yea its not the front end because the front driveshaft doesnt spin and you can tell its coming from the t case. i think im going to open it up this weekend and see what the hell happened. hopefully its a cheap fix but i have no clue at this point.

Thats a bite. Get some new wheels and something breaks. I guess you knocked off some of the bling for God Ram It. No more blinding glare. Also noticed you opened your window while throwing mud. Dash. Good job getting all the new stuff muddy.
