Johnny Reb Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I have never had this truck (Dodge B2B truck) up on stands...but I noticed the rear wheels not turning properly when in gear and engine running... Normal??? Clutch???? Rear End???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 probably going to have to expand on what is "not proper" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 One wheel kinda turning, then the other faster, instead of both at the same speed?....dragging brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooljunkie Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Open differential. The slower one may have a bit of drag,. off, in neutral go spin one wheel at a time, see if brakes are rubbing drums. Not something that would worry me though. only limited slip or locker type rear ends will turn both wheels at equal speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stop one with your hand. Do they not pull as if on the ground because they are not on the ground. I wonder if set on the ground they would even move the truck... it was not running when I put it up on stands. The speedometer shows the gears are going faster in each gear but it does not appear that way when you leave it in gear and get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 That's nothing to worry about with the rear end. Brakes maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooljunkie Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 As i said, open differential, there is a gearset in the housing that allows the wheels to turn independently of each other. This allows truck to turn corners. If it runs and rear axle isnt making any concerning noises, drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
