Might be the wrong place... but does anyone know anything about 4X4 trucks?

I was in my truck accelerating from a stoplight in the snow. Only the front left tire was on concrete when I tried to leave a light, and CLUNK! The whole truck vibrated and made wierd noises for the rest of the drive home, and that tire wasn't pulling anything. U-joint? Axel?

EDIT: Oh yeah, it's a '92 F-150 Flareside 4x4 with 115,000 miles.

Do you have automatic locking hubs?... I remember on my old pathfinder my hubs got stuck between locked and unlocked, and made a weird clicking noise.

Sounds like maybe your spider-gear assembly might have blown....as mentioned before, what type of hubs you got...auto or manual? If auto, they might not be engaging properly...I am not sure if your Ford's hubs are vacumm actuated or not.

That Year Of Ford Truck Did Not Use Vacuum Operated Hubs. Check Hubs First Then Look Deaper.
