1992 K1500 Front wheels lock up Sign In

1992 Chevy K1500 4x4 Single cab, 4.3L V6.

When i try to drive the front wheels lock up. I thought it was a brake issue so i jacked up the front end and i could spin the front wheels with my hand. I also removed the driveshaft and tried driving but all it did was spin the rear rear tires. If you guys have any suggestions that'd be great. Thanks.

Which driveshaft did you remove?

The front driveshaft, because the rear tires spin just fine.

If the front wheels wouldn't turn after the truck was on the ground and the front driveshaft was removed, then you have a problem with the front differential.
If you have manual hubs, try unlocking them. If not, then your going to have to remove the differential.
