hi guys i have an 07 350 6.0 was plowing last night toward the end of the night i herd a popping coming off the front end of the truck mind u my esof does not work so i manually lock the hubs and then turn on the 4x4 from the dash when i want 4x4, ok so after the few pops i herd while slightly turning i straighened out and all seem ok till i pulled outta the parking lot started driving and i had a noise kinda sounded like driving on a flat while at speeds at around 25-35mph so i got out unlocked the hubs drove it and it drives fine unlocked. so what I've done so far is while hubs unlocked climbed under it spun the front driveshaft by hand and spins freely. when the truck is rolling with no issues i locked the hubs left the switch in 2wd turned the wheel and started to make a turn and POP loud and shakes the truck violently it feel likes the steering and the truck is binding when trying to turn. can anyone help shed some light on my problem

 

I just took the truck up the corner to get milk and now for some reason I can't turn the wheel to the left

 

sorry for your woes

I didnt think you could lock the axles on pavement...I thought it would bind on turns.

folks keep talking about locking the axles during the winter so they do not have to get out to manually lock the axles.....I'm not understanding how thats possible on pavement with out binding.

 

sounds like the steering knuckle u-joints are binding up.

 

Hey just an update took some things apart and found a bad U joint and a broken axle hense why I couldnt turn Id post a pic but can't figure out how
