Do I have Diff Problems?

a Few weeks ago, I was stuck in the snow. Got out to shovel and back tires on hard pack snow front drivers tire on Ice and pass only 1 spinning. Not hardly any snow under truck at all. Might I have rear end problems? 4 hi or low front pass only 1 spinning. Its been fine since but I havent been stuck since. This was the second time I got stuck when I shouldnt have been. Same front tire doing all the work that time also? 1 Wheel Drive??

Are you saying the rear wheels never would spin even when in 4 wheel drive Hi or Low?
If the rear wheels never spin I would suspect transfer case not the rear end.

no the rear wheels did not spin at all. Also its sometimes is very slow going into 4x4. I usually let off gas, switch button, then back on gas. then slam into 4x4

Even if you don't have limited slip in the rear, one rear wheel should be spinning!

Does the truck work when in 2wd?
