First thing I would do is remove the rear drive shaft and try the truck in
4wd, could also remove it and make sure the sliding portion of the shaft is
not frozen, assuming this is how it is made, not the front slip yoke but the
splined slider. Make sure to mark the yokes and flanges to reinstall in the
same position.
