Something sounds goofy... so you were able to roll the axle under the truck?
yea we rolled the axle right under it so im thinkin he hooked up the parking brake to tight.

i wish that were the case bro... the parking brake aint even hooked up!
and ya it rolled fine but that one side was always locked and spun the pumpkin with the tire like at the same rate... if that makes any sense. and i looked at my truck today and i actually spun the free spinning tire and it locked up too. i can see the marks on the tire where it spun. driveshaft is fine but im guessing it locked up and now either of them wont move... didnt really have time today to further investigate this so hopefully within the next couple of days if work permits me.
o ya, 73redblaze i got your message mang call me tomorrow i aint got nothin to do between 11 and 2 so hit me up lets go get lunch or somthin
Still sounds like you have one brake frozen and your gov lock kicked in to me... Pull the brakes apart on the stuck side and go from there.

I thought I was doing good with 15 cr. classes and 25 hours of work!
My company is paying for tuition and books so I can squeeze in my homework when things get slow... 
I didn't say I was doing good yet though 
We will see how it goes over the next couple weeks.
