I went wheelin last weekend had 4 wheel drive went in a hole herd a noise no more 4 wheel drive. thought it was the hubs checked not them, checked axles not them, puled off front diff cover looked fine, drive shaft has some slop in it. what else can it be?

Check your front drive shaft again. I had that happen to me and I had to leave my Blazer stuck overnight and walk 6 miles to get help. It was weird because when I had it on a frame rack the front axle would drop down enough to where the spline caught eonugh to where it appeared OK. When it was sitting on all 4's a friend crawled under and found the shaft slipping on me. The entire spline didn't strip out, only part of it, probably when I was going through a mud hole and it was extended.

Just a thought.
