ok here is my situation. I backed up to my 5th wheel at the deer lease the other day and tried to move my camper. Had it in 4x4 low and engaged the hubs manually. tried to creep out and the damn truck buried itself. Only the 2 rear wheels and the front right would spin. No matter what i did(turn the wheel, hit the brakes, reverse to forward etc) the front driver side tire wouldnt spin. Does this sound like a limited slip problem in the front or would it be a bad hub on the driver side?

You have no LS in the front Axle, You simply had no traction on the other side. So 100% of the drive going to the front was going to the wheel with the least traction.

But why did you park there? I mean looking at the spot could you have picked a worse fucking place in the middle of nowhere?

looks like the LS in the rear wasnt working well either since the left side of that truck in the rear is sitting up high as well .
