So apparently its as simple as the 4wd staying engaged. I drive it around and, throwing it into and out of 4 lo, and it was really hard to get out of 4wd. It gets out of lo, but the 4wd would stay engaged until I went forward and backwards a few times. So this means I have 2 issues:
1: Its getting stuck in 4wd. Any suggestions for this?
2: My front diff is rotating under tension, allowing the back of it to go up. I jacked it up and looked around, and all the mounts appear to be tight. But I do have a question. Where the axle mounts mount to the frame there are rubber bushings on the front side. I'm wondering if this bushing is shot or if the bolt is not tight enough. Here is the one on the passenger side, the one on the driver side has more exposed thread, but it measures the same (2 in). This one looks like it could be tightened, but I couldn't get anywhere, and didn't want to get out a breaker bar until I knew if it is already tight.
