06 dodge 2500 4x4
Had the truck in 4 low backing up a trailer up a bit of slope and got onto some pavement. I ended up having to turn a bit and wasn't really thinking about the fact that I was on pavement. I don't remember if at that point I was trying to go forward or in reverse, but I heard a sound that didn't sound too good. Front is stock open diff and rear is stock locking diff. Has 4.10 gears and 37" tires which I'm sure makes it better chance of something bad happening. At first I had some trouble getting out of 4-low, but did and put into 2wd and 4-high without problem. I just turned the truck around and immediately parked it and haven't drove it since. I looked at the drive shafts and front axle shaft joints and didn't see anything. Just wondering what I may have possibly broke internally. What is the weak link if it binds up bad enough? Is it going to be safe to drive to a shop? thanks
