duh! (directed at me) My bad. I thought we were only talking about one axle. So you are saying with a rear wheel in the air you lose your front axle power and vice-versa. Just didn't understand the situation. I will shut up now.
No worries LOL! You are right though. With my CDL engaged, if I lift one wheel (front for rear) off the ground, my truck will act like it's going to pull through, but I will get about half a foot, and I will get awful grinding and ratcheting noises, and the truck will roll back to it's previous spot. So mine isn't fully engaged. I'm going to lube up the linkage and see if that helps.

Whats the term if you get hung up in a ditch with a front and a rear wheel off the ground? Axle twist or something?
