Quick help please-pass. side axle won't turn, driver side turns

Felt a weird a weird feeling in steering. It feels like the wheels are in "ruts" occasionally. I posted another thread about that earlier.

I have the truck up on jacks now. I have locked the manual hubs and the drivers side wheel and axle will turn. The pass. side wheel will turn, but the axle does not. If we try to turn axle by hand, it will not turn by hand.

Any ideas? Thanks!

More info: When I took out the manual hub it was not seated properly. Gonna put it back in straight and see what happens.

You just did a first. You asked a question and answered your question with you being the only one to post. Congrats and glad you figured it out.
