There is one other situation where I saw a similar condition which didn't involve the differential gears being shot... when I ran a service truck, we had a driver come in (into the shop, this wasn't a road call) with the same complaint.. turns out he somehow managed to snap all the lugs on one of the axle shafts on the #2 axle, so the shaft was just spinning freely. Would love to know how he managed to do that.

Im hoping to get that truck into the shop this after noon and tear into it. I will gladly share what I find once I get into it.
-
I'm not sure what's so hard about hitting the switch at the right time.n1xrf Thanks this. -

Got tore into it today finally. He spun the shaft in two. The shaft that goes from the power divider out thru the front axle and out the back to drive the rear axle. Spun it clean off. Anything else I should look at while I'm in there.
-
Well, he's not the first to do that. That thru shaft will break.

On another note I remember this late 60's International Cargostar garbage truck I used to occasionally drive for the furniture company I worked for in college. Somebody broke one of the floating axles one day and it quit moving for awhile. I honestly can't remember if I did that or not but I remember that think was a total death trap.
