Wierd. Guess the first thing to do is set the parking brake, then try to turn the driveshaft by hand. Stick a long screwdriver in the rear u-joint yoke if you need more torque.

If what you're saying holds true, the driveshaft should turn, even with the parking brake on holding the wheels. This will just confirm things.

To really get to the problem, pull both axles, then the pig from the axle housing. Inspect the ring and pinion, carrier and diff. gears. You should be able to spot the problem right away. Take the center section back to whoever built it and have them correct the problem

I can't wait to hear what the problem turns out to be.
