Default where did the torque go?

I ran my truck today and the front wheels are getting all of the torque. I checked the spur to see if it was loose and I checked my axles and stuff and my front wheels still get all of the torque. How do I know you ask......... well if the truck is at WOT and your walking faster than the truck while the front tires are kicking up everything on the ground then you would know. I'm just asking how to fix this because yesterday I dismounted the engine and was going to install a pull start over but found out that the one way bearing is bigger than what the pull start can hold but I put everything back on there step by step. I hope I don't have to open the rear differential.

Yea check the grup screw in the center axle hubs first. If its loose use some loctite and titen it up. If thats not it lift the truck up and give it some gas to see if the rear center axle is spinning if its not its your gearbox if it is its your rear diff thats the problem.

I turn the rear wheels and they move so does the front ones and when I turn only one rear wheel all of them still move in the same direction unlike the others. When I also move the rear wheels I feel the gears skip but when I opened the differential box nothing was striped but I didn't open the other part.

well i checked the rear differential and I couldn't get it all the way open all screws off except one. I spin the axles forward and all wheels move but if I twist one the other one doesn't go the opposite way like its suppose to.
