4wd noise??

hey everyone i just picked up a 80 bronco, when you put it in 4wd lo and hi soon as you start moving it makes a real loud squeeling noise in the front,

my concern is the truck axle code on the door says it had 3.50 gears with limited slip,

the guy told me they put 4.11s in it, i did check the rear gear by spinning the rear tires and counting the turns the yoke did and she spun just over 4 times which is telling me that there is 4.11s out back, could it be possible they didnt change the front gears? and left them 3.50s??

any help would be thankful

Yeah its possible. Why don't you pop the front up and count the rotations up there? Seems like the next reasonable step to me.
