When you get outta the truck check if the housing on the front axle is hot.  Maybe heat bleeding from a bad wheel bearing, or pull the hubs...maybe one popped open and is stuck in the locked position even though you see it free from the outside.

Also...is the diff overfilled?
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

Allright so i drained my diff and it turns out it was a little foamy ( my street flooded and i was playin around and gawking at all the idiots flooding their engines with water, karma sucks!!!) and this leads me to my next question!!!! My hubs lock on their own, not saying their automatic hubs but i will leave my house with them locked and when i get to work one or the other or both will be locked!! :help:
