hey there,
just wondering if you got that "braking" issue figured out. i just took off one of my CV shafts and ran it for a bit to see if it was making the sound I was hearing, it wasnt, so I put it back on and when I did, my 4wd did what yours did. It was like someone was putting on the brakes and it did not want to disengage and once it finally did it was quite a clunk. Anyhow, just wondering if you ever got it diagnosed, fixed and how much did it cost....yikes?!
thanks in advance
Dan
