    OK yes the hubs were locked in and they are good, the backlash was 8,000th, put in new clutches. When it was on the jackstands the tires moved but when on the ground it just makes a humming sound, no grinding just a humming.

    Well if the R&P was bad it would be making a ton of noise.

    If the dshaft is spinning, either the something is wrong with the clutches in the LS or the hubs. But you said they are both new or known to be good. :?

    Maybe pull the hubs on both sides and see if the axles are turning when in gear. Was gonna suggest to check yout transfer case to see if it was in gear but you said the drive shaft turns right?
