SS-GTP Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'm confused, what does the front diff have to due with your truck rolling away? Sounds more like you have a transmission problem with the parking pawl not engaging correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJARVIS221 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 That's the answer I wanted to hear someone tried to tell me the truck wouldn't fully lock without front diff since it being awd Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eberhama Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think with the front driveshaft disconnected, it would allow the t-case to spin, and the truck to roll, even in park. kind of like when you have an open diff in park, but you can jack up one wheel and spin it.

SS-GTP Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Did some quick research to eberhama's comment, and it does appear that if you take away the front input into the transfer case "aka failed front diff in your case", that will allow the rear output to turn similar to a open differential even though the transmission is locked by being in Park.
