Ok, when i try to take off in all the forward gears it feels like the car is got the ebrake on and will move a little bit and then stall out, as if it hits a brick wall. It drives fine in reverse. What could this be, i've ran out of ideas... The calipers are NOT frozen, and the ebrake is off. T case? Rear End? CEnter diff? please help
 
Have you tried jacking the car up and spinning the wheels both ways to see what it may be? If not try it . Try it in in gear and out of gear see what happens and let us know.You will want to put the whole car on jack stands.
 
had it on jackastands today. It struggled to spin the wheels forward but at least it spun them. It was fine in reverse. Front spins freely, the rear is a hard to spin but not impossible to spin by hand. Did not hear any clicks. Car still wont go forward when onthe ground. help please!!
 
have you had any work done to your xfer case, could be something with the linkage and the rear driveshaft not allowing it to spin freely
