    Hello,

    I'm not sure where to post this, however I need some advice:

    We have a Kenworth T2000. It was not starting before, and after repairing the fuses, it now starts. We have run into a new problem. Here's whats happening:

    The left back axle is not releasing. We checked the brakes, and they are released. the rear diff shaft turns, but even when u have it locked/unlocked the rear diff doesn't move, the left side rear axle is not releasing. The right side rear axle moves freely. After trying to drag it loose, the ABS light on the dash stays on now. It drove to its parking spot fine. It's sat for approx 60 days. Could it be the DP/splitter, seized spindle, seized hub? Any Ideas?

    Thanks
