If you cant spin it in 2wd then your CAD is the problem. :bigthumb:
Unless you have a front locker, your driveshaft should spin freely in 2wd.
i can spin it freely in 2wd in park. it spins while i drive.
was the truck running? It needs to have vaccuum applied to the shift motor when you try this.
I hope this helps

The front shaft will spin slightly from parasitic drag.
