Default help! 97 f250 4x4 not working and axle prob?

i have a 97 f250 4x4 with a zf6 6 spd transmision out of 99 or 00 f350 and new process 271 transfer case manual warn lock outs

in 2wd i feel vibration coming from what seems to be under the back seat but carrier bearing is new and driveshaft has been recently shortened and re balanced

in 4wd high or low range the front wheels pull some then the front end on passenger side pops and it seems like the front wheels quit pulling then they pull again then pops again ect
in other words pull some pop pull some pop

pop represents a dead point in front wheel traction

Are your hubs locking? Have they been replaced or rebuilt to your knowledge check and make sure the fluids are full.

Oh I see. Yeah I'll have to look into it. Are you sure that you have the right set up with the swap

Well I don't know if zf6 matches up to your transfer case or nlt.

Sounds like the hubs bad maybe.is take that hub out and make sure it locks and unlocks freely. Were the hubs locked when you tried to put it in 4x4?
