No power in the rear end.

update: currently in southern Illinois near Evansville. both driveshafts are spinning, it will move in 4 high with the front wheels doing the pulling. I have about 750 miles to go. Is it ok to drive the rest of the way on just the front axle if I'm nice to it and keep speeds down?

So it's something in the rear end? Ideas?


Driving down the road in cruise control. No power to the rear wheels... Pulled over, turned the truck off, put it back in gear and the speed goes up but no power. If you can help please call 918 851 7646

I decided on locking the hubs in and driving it to a hotel that was about 1/4 mile away parking it for the night and finding a local mechanic that can fix it. Renting a car and then driving back to pick it up when its done in a week or 2
