Put vehicle on left and I was running it to check something else, when all of a sudden the front driver's wheel quit spinning. Any ideas or does this mean something is binding in the diff. Or could a clip be allowing the axle to slide away from the diff. I have never opened a diff before so not to familiar with the inside of it. Thanks.

stock truck as far as running gear with open diffs, and cdl was not engaged. All 4 wheels were spinning then as rpms came down front drivers stopped spinning while other 3 continued.

Then they aint gonna all spin at once. Maybe on and off but you could stop them individually with your hand..

Okay thanks, I was concerned when one stopped without any outside influence. I was under the assumption that they would continue to spin until they met resistance. My bad thanks for the info
