car hard to push

[Nautica985]

My car is extremely hard to push. Its hard to push on flat land and you can forget about pushing it on a slight incline. I have pushed other cars before and they were 10x easier. Is it just hard to push because of the AWD drivetrain or do i have a problem some where? All of the brake calipers are free

You have some problem. I roll mine around all the time with one hand on a level surface.
It's used to be much harder and would noticeably slow down when coasting. I discovered the spiders in the driveshaft were all shot. It rolls easily now.

Get the car up in the air and start checking things. You can quickly disconnect the driveshaft from the rear diff and isolate the two. Your problem could be anything from underpressure tires to various transfer case/trans problems.

My car seems to have the same problem. It currently has no motor or tranny though, so this would lead me to believe its the rear end. Anyone one else have any input?

Hopefully when I get a chance to get my hands on the car this weekend I can figure out what the problem is. So far everything with this car has had to be replaced or fixed....
