Crowz was clarifying as to the no power. If front wheels aren't turning it could be an issue at the front differential. Front DS to diff or diff to cvc, but if DS isn't turning then it's at transfer case (hence placing eyes on shaft vs. wheels)

Yep on both of the aboves.

Just because the wheels are not turning isn't all of it. By eyeballing the front driveshaft directly like mentioned it will determine for sure its the transfer case. Just using the wheels as a test spot leaving other things out of the equation like a broke cv joint, stripped differential, etc.

By eyeballing the front driveshaft and knowing its not turning when the rear wheels are turning lets you KNOW its the transfer case and not something else.

What do you mean if? The front driveshaft turns. I’ll just post a link to a video
Is this with all 4 wheels off the ground or driving it with the wheels on the ground?
