rear diff question

[Woodscaper]

I swaped my ARB into a new housing and got it all put back together. Why is it that when I rotate the axles the drive shaft does not rotate? What am I missing??

[Kinder]

Wait, what? So up on jack stands, xfer case in neutral, ARB engaged and rotating tires & the driveshaft isn't turning?

[Justin]

Also, is this with the ARB engaged?

[Woodscaper]

ARB not engaged, t case in gear, trans in park and the axles rotate (yes up on jack stands) wtf?

[ZOSO]

they are supposed to. if you rotate the passenger forward the driver will travel in reverse. Lock the arb and try it again.

[ZOSO]

or lower one tire on the ground and try again.

x2. Works exactly like an open diff when open.

Thanks Rob, I was thinking to much about it to see the obvious.
