Should only have a limited slip in the rear. The clutches are probably worn out.

Either you don't have an open diff or you don't have a real fx4

At least you get the residual heat in Minneapolis. Up 94 an hour or so, we don't get that. Was -17 coming into work this morning.

Granted it's flippin' cold either way.

Its a real fx4.3.55 open diff,no letter after the # on the tag in the door.
I checked the fork in the front diff and everything is ok.I even converted the front to manual pull 4 wheel.This thing will get stuck on a wet grapeleaf.
