ddunker here's how I do it there maybe another way but

I make a folder on my desk top (say title it truck) and put my pic in there size it down to about 800x530 or so then when you do a post if you look in the line with the dark B I U about the 4th from the right you should see a Icon that when you put the cursor on it will say insert image, click on it and it should say browse your computer look for the truck folder find your pic and open
when done you'll see insert click on that and it should insert the link to the picture. When you hit submit it should take that link and turn it into a picture.


I looked at the ones you got and it's a little hard to tell for sure but it looks to me that you have the same auto locker as I do.

Hope this helps
Mike

Sounds like your passenger side auto hub is blown. The driver side locked up and is holding the axle on that side from turning, so all the torque is going to the passenger side, which is now unable to lock up.

Typical junk auto hub... I'd replace them with a nice set of manuals for reliability and peace of mind.

X2 on what Dixie said. The autolocks work good till they don't and then they are junk. A manual hub conversion should be easy on yours and not very expensive. Plenty of info out there on doing the conversion. Glad to hear it wasn't the ring and pinion!
