Mmmh.. Make sense but... Today I stopped at my friend's house today, we're both trying to figure out the problem. In his gravel driveway I locked it in 4wd, dumped the clutch and both front wheels spin at the same time, both front and 1 rear did a short burn out before the engine stumbled and tried to die on me, (sorry, I got the 3.0).
After that, we raised the front end off the ground and spoon things around, then I noticed something that happened right after the swap that I didn't pay much attention to and forgot to mention in the first thread. As you know, with the PVH the axles will unlock right? After the swap they're permanently locked and everything will spin all the time. I don't know if this will make sense to you guys and I'm not sure if this is how its supposed to work, but this is what I found out, with the front wheels off the ground and in 2wd;
Spin either wheel; that wheel spins the driveshaft but the opposite wheel won't spin.
Hold the driveshaft; one wheel spins in the opposite direction, driveshaft won't spin.
Spin the driveshaft; both wheels spin in the same direction.
It might be a dumb question but, is this the way it's supposed to work??? I'm getting more and more frustrated. Any advice is helpful.. thanks guys...
