Tacoma locked up, skid to a stop

I've had a stuck and a frozen e-brake, didn't seem like this. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Sub'd.

Most recent change is usually the first suspect, so I'd start at the front diff and go from there. Interested in what you find out. Keep us posted.

 

Also I'll be pissed if I take my truck to toyota and they cut my god damned gas pedal...

 

to me if the chain was busted he would not be able to move at all
FSM Transfer case breakdown... chain on pg 4

 

I guess I might add I did engage 4 hi and 4 lo just to see if they'd work. Both engaged easily. Dunno if that matters...

I was thinking something like this also.

 

Hmmm Can't believe no one advised you to jack the front end off the ground and check that both wheels spin freely? Might need someone there to hold one side still and spin wheels on each side. Could be a bound up transfer case or frozen caliber.

 

Isolate which axle is stuck. In neutral lift each axle so tires are off the ground. Which spin, which don't?

 

Rear ring and pinion...last one I busted happened while backing out of the driveway. Raise your rear end off the ground using jack stands and the put you truck in drive and just let rear wheels idle at their own speed. I bet you'll notice the binding is at the rear diff

 

Same kind of thing happened to me, but in a family member's Jeep Liberty. Ended up being a bad/broken ABS sensor. It would literally apply full brake when trying to take off from a stop, first time it happened was in traffic and scary as shit.
Idk if our Taco's even have the same type of junky sensors as the KJ's. Just throwing an idea out there!
G'luck!

 

More I think about it maybe something is up with the tcase like if you had miss matched gears between the front and rear diffs while in 4wd making somekind of weird driveline bind

 

ABS would throw a code and light on the cluster

 

Is it possible that your CV's are binding up and stopping the truck?

 

Is if possible that your ATRAC is still engaged

 

Been trying to call Josh to get your number to see if you wanted help, but his phone is busy.

 

Subscribed, intrigued, hope my truck never does this.

 

Thanks guys. Randy is on his way to help, and pick me up, and bringing tools. What a guy!

I really appreciate all the help.

 

Had a chevy years ago that front brakes grabbed to much also at a GFs house. It was dead of winter about no degrees outside.
I could go backwards forever but not forward. Didn't have 4 wheel drive in that one so no option there.
I would suspect brakes and then drive train.

Good luck. Let us know.

 

Good luck Max, hope you and Randy figure it out.
