I was leaving work the other da and i heard a loud pop, then my truck wouldnt go when in gear. After we pushed it to a safe place the truck wouldnt go anymore it just would not move. when the tow truck got there and pulled the truck up on the flat bed the front tires drug but the rears rolled. after i took off the front drive shaft it rolled again but wouldnt go in gear. I need other opinions if its just the drive chain before i start taking stuff apart.

Im not stupid i think i would know if i broke a u joint its a little bit easier to spot than if my drive chain broke. come on dude anybody can tell if the broke a u joint. and the truck would still roll if it was the u joint

A transfer case is used for 4 wheel drive to transfer gears into that motion.It sounds like you have a broken "U" joint or an axle spline stripped.I would start with the most obvious problem the "U" joint may be the culprit in this case.I have a Chevy Blazer and that problem sounds similar to mine.

sounnds like you need a rebuild kit or a new trasfercase youve broken a gear inside between the transmission and transfercase that drives the main shaft (rear) and if that shaft doesn't turn nothing does may be even more if it does'nt roll most likely chain broke when the gear binded
