IM just running what ever it came with.... it just seems like the wheel wont get power..

As 2d said you should definitely look at the hex pins, but I just ripped my lst2 all apart and the ball cups where the axel and the wheel hex meet didnt have any grease on them. I would suggest taking off the wheel hubs the then take off the c-hubs (where the a-arms connect to) and in the round cup where the dogbone and axel meet there is also a pin in there, thats also where a light coating of grease should be applied. I ran mine in the snow and some mud a few times, actually like twice they are were a little rusted. Also the set screw for my wheel hexxes wasnt loctited either, so you might want to do that also. heres some pics.

Grab your right rear wheel (Tail in the air) and turn it with the front wheels on the ground. Did the left one turn then? Try the opposite (Turn the left).

It is possible that for some reason the wheel that isn't turning could be binding (Dirt, something bent, rust, etc.).

when i looked at the problem more carefully I noticed that the dogbone wasnt truning so it leaves me ro beleive it is the diff???

RE: DIFF PROBLEM..???
 

I would assume one of you grubs is gone and or loose.

It either where this attaches to the diff or the cup that the dog bone attaches to on the tranny output shaft.

I know for a fact that the grub screw pictured is in place correctly.. but i will check the one on the tranny output shaft.:D

thanks for the photo 2d... but that grub is in place too.. all the screws in my Drive train are.. the one (rear right) dogbone just dosent spin when I roll the front two wheels... [&o]

With the front tires on the ground pick the truck up by the rear wheels, grasp each rear wheel in a hand and rotate them forward. Report your results. I'm gonna go do it to mine now.

RE: DIFF PROBLEM..???
 

Seriously, I was with a group tonight and one of the things we talked about was mud slides in the Northwest!!

Here it has been low humidity and 75 since a couple days before Christamas. We have not had rain in at least 3 or 4 months!!!

My house is splitting at he seams!!

RE: DIFF PROBLEM..???
 

HEY 2D i grabed the two back wheels and spun them... and the two front wheels spun as they should...[&o]

RE: DIFF PROBLEM..???
 

Yea Us! I just love it when we are in the headlines. Like Tanya Harding! lol

No slides here, thank goodness. Sorry to hear about your house!

On subject: Sounds like you spun out a wheel hex, or, more likely broke an axle pin.
