"........is there a sping pack in the carrier ? four pins are way better and you still can get some rebuild parts for they have a steel cage and use 4 springs ........"

Pat this is pretty much what the internal parts that I have look like less the clutches and of course only 2 spider gears.

I did the axel bearing and yes they were assembeled bearing first and then the lock ring.


"..... but even if clutchs were gone you would still get the one wheel deal your axel is to short......."

I keep going back to that Pat, The only thing that makes sense to me is that one of the axels is just long enough to engage thru the clutch hub but not into the side gear ( I can feel it engage the carrier and can't turn the wheels with it in park). That's only explination I can come up with that would explain the truck acting like it was trying to move but act like a badly slipping trans.
