99 f250 axle problems

Guys I apologize if I'm in the wrong section. That being said. I have a 99 f250 7.3 4x4. The problem is in 2wd I can spin the front drive shaft freely and the driver side axle will turn but not passenger side. I've pulled both hubs off and both are in auto position and spin freely. Even with the hub off on the pass side the axel won't spin freely. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The front is an open diff. It's normal to only see one side spinning while turning the drive shaft. Try spinning the universal on the passenger side. As long as it turns by hand then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
