What should be spinning? Weird rubbing sound/feel

[DetroitDarin]

Low speed, especially while turning - odd deep rub sound/feel. It's almost as if it's binding a bit as if 4wd was engaged, OR I had worn-through a rotor (the rotors are fine). My welding guy thinks the 4wd isn't disengaging - suggested I get the truck off the ground and spin the wheels see what happens. I am sure the axle would spin - but as long as the front drive shaft isn't spinning everything should be okay, no?

found a possible solution - rear end fluid change + friction modifier. Gonna try it.

Also research the Brown Wire Mod, it's beneficial either way if ya ask me!

My truck has 2H, AWD, 4H, and 4Lo Don't need the brown-wire mod

Oh good!

See I'd have known that if ya had your year in your sig ;-)

I hope the fluid change helps though!

Do people put that specific of info in their sigs? Oh - there ya go. I see it in yours Welp, I wouldn't put 'No brown wire mod needed'....so...anywho. Thanks

Just razzin' ya

I have had LSD rear ends do exactly what you're describing and a fluid change drastically improved their behavior.
