It certainly could be, but he mentioned he already pulled the FAD motor, made sure it was engaged in the collar and the collar was disconnected, so the next possibility is that the locker is locked, stuck, or his gear change guy swapped it for a spool. 😉 Not sure if any of that would cause a...

If it drives okay still, it sounds like they screwed something up with your front locker and it’s permanently locked. If the FAD is still disconnecting, you won’t notice anything different in 2hi, but your drivers and passenger side axle before the FAD will be turning along with the front drive...
