I finally got my truck on the road the other day and decided to take it in the woods. Seemed as though 4x4 wasn't working right the entire time as I couldn't climb any steep hills. My buddy who was with me didn't observe any of the font wheels spinning at any time.

I was hearing some serious clunking while wheeling. I put the truck up on stands today just to see if I could figure out whats going on a bit better and with the truck in 4 low, the front right wheel will spin, but only at about half the speed of the right wheel. Also, on the front left, the inner u joint is spinning but the wheel isn't, there is a rapid clicking noise coming from this area.

I was wondering what might be wrong with it, and if it would prevent the front right wheel from turning if the truck is under a bit of strain like trying to go up a steep hill rather than just sitting there on the jack stands. Got a video, you can see the rear wheel going about twice as fast as the front and hear the clicking noise on the front left, hope it helps a bit.

Probably a bad hub on the left. Open diffs will put the power to whichever wheel spins easier, so it won't put any power to the front right.

 

Thanks, I am going to start tearing into it tonight! My build sheet says the truck has limited slip front and rear so hopefully that will work as well!

 

Just realized, I don't exactly know what to look for haha.

I just went out and started to look at it and the cap is loose, it moves back and forth about an 1/8th of an inch, maybe a bit more, but all of the bolts for the cap are tight. Ideas?

 

Tore into the hub today, the front left one came out blown apart in about 5 pieces. Bought a set of warn hubs at napa for 85 bucks, put them both in, things are working great now!
