OK, posting this for s friend with an 816. There is suspicion that the 816's sprag could be bad. Apparently, one day there was a loud BANG noise, and now when driving in soft dirt/mud and trying to turn, the front wheels don't turn the truck...the truck just plows forward. Now, this guy and his brother have owned this 816 for a number of years, and they know about the "don't roll backwards in N/1st, and don't roll forward in R" deal. The thought is the sprag may have gotten stuck while backing up and didn't release when going forward.
So here's a couple questions:
1. Is it OK to drive the 816 if the front driveshaft is removed until the sprag can be repaired/replaced?
2. Is there a way to test if the sprag is indeed bad?
Thanks
