    Heres my issue im having. When it snowed like 10in last week, i spent the morning driving around pulling people out for hours. I got back, put my car in park, and left my truck for a day or two without driving it. While in the snow, i put it in 4H, 4L and also put on the locking rear dif at one point, if that changes anything.

    I went to start it one morning a few days after, and it was cold. I’d put it in drive, and try to pull away and it just locked. One rear wheel spins, one doesnt, and i need to roll down the hill in my driveway to free it or put it in 4H. Its happened pretty much every time ive gotten in my truck the past 5 or 6 days. This evening, when it was really cold (high of 25), it was especially bad and I couldnt even get my car out, however I did not push it too hard.

    Ive done some reading and it seems like my drum brake is locked, or my parking brake is locked. I havent figured out why it would happen every time though… I havent driven my truck enough to know if it only happens in the cold, but every time ive gotten into my car to drive it, it happens. Thoughts?

    Try parking without the ebrake and see if it changes.

    Sounds like you may have a frozen drum. Tap lightly on the drum with a hammer.
