Did you take the whole diff out or loosen up the mounting bolts to get it to drop enough and get the axle out?
I rolled under my 2Dr Tahoe and looked at the axle flanges, they have paint markings and to my knowledge it had never been out of the truck until recently, i had 4.56's put in.You must be registered for see images attach

I did put it in 4H, it rolls at idle about six feet forward and back before slowly stopping. So either someone put in a 3.42 up front and there’s another issue or it still has 3.73 and the paint mark and vent thing is a coincidence.
That sucks. Hope you catch a break an that thing soon.
Could you do the rotation thing? Maybe disconnecting the front u joint might help? Mark it before you take it apart so you can put it back in the right place.

I would be tempted to try what he does in the video but at the front. Disconnecting the front driveshaft at the u joint under the oil filter seemed like it might make things easier. I've not done it and have no idea if the diff stays engaged if the truck is off or if it would work.I’m just not too familiar with how they all work. Tried it with all four wheels off ground, engine on, 4H and front shaft spins barely before locking.
Would disconnecting the rear shaft then remove the back from the equation and still let the front shaft and wheels lock together?
I'm guessing your thinking of removing the rear shaft and trying to run it in 4hi. I don't see why not, but what do I know.
