All was well until I pulled out of a crazy donut, and then I noticed I only had front wheel drive:angry: I got home and checked it out and all drive shaft CVD's are good, wheels and hexes are good also. I started to check the back wheels and they would spin in any way that I wanted them too, but the center cvd woulnt spin. Then I spun the front wheels and that made the rear center drive shaft spin, but not the wheels. So what do you guys think? Stripped gear in the rear??? Thanx
 
If you grab both rear wheels and turn them simultaneously in the same direction, and nothing happens with the center line shaft. AND all of the stuff you already mentioned is the case....then you have a blown rear diff. Time to take it apart and take a look inside. The other thing that might be a small outside chance is the diff cup that goes to the center line shaft from the rear diff has let go (ie the set screw is snapped or no longer present). Either way, it couldn't hurt to take it all apart and have a look see.
 
Thanks Sky, and yes I can turn both rear wheels in the same direction at the same time. Is there a upgraded rear diff or gears out there?
 
I ment to update this the other day and forgot. All what it was, was that damn shaft screw for the CVD. I am going to use red thread lock on it this time so it doesn't happen again.:stupid:
