Front axles stuck in 4wd while in 2wd, cant spin them by hand
So after doing some research, i found that the front axles should spin freely in 2wd. I just went out and checked and confirmed that my front axles are not spinning freely and are locked.
Other than getting basically 4wd gas mileage all the time the truck is driving fine...but is there anything I can do to fix this myself? I tried re-engaging and disengaging the locking rear dif and 4wd system a bunch of different ways and it's still stuck.
Is this something only the dealer can fix?

The dealer Can fix it. My local dealer had to fix, when Tire Plaza screwed up my IWEs installing new struts recently! Cost Tire Plaza in Festus, about 700.00 to pay for theyre screw up.
