Do you have hubs?
Are they locking in?
Are the gears in the front end any good?
Broken axle shaftin the front end?

jack your truck up and put both axles on jackstands with enough daylight under the tires to safely put yor vehicle in gear without anything touching the ground----------have a friend put your 4x range selector thru 4low , 4 hi , neutral , and observe the results>>>>if you have posi units in either axle both tires on that axle should turn together!!!!if you have posi units and they are not working they may need a new clutch pack installed and some additive along with new gear oil...............You can make your system a part-timer with a set of hubs from MileMarker or the other company that I can't think of their name-----You probably have an np203 xfer case if you have full time 4x drive!!!fd :-X11
