When you say the “the wheels free spun”, does that mean the axle shafts did not turn with the wheel?

If your front axle is not turning when you rotate the front wheel, that front actuator is not engaged.
Any idea what I should through at this pig first?

Sounds to me like your front hubs are engaging when there is no vacuum and releasing when vacuum is applied, as they should.

What is this bearing you replaced “about a month ago”?

Why is the “drive side much tighter than passenger side?”

I replaced all four wheel bearings.. It seems as if when the truck is running the axle is only partially disengaging and not fully on the passenger side

Did this problem start after replacing the wheel bearings?
