When you say work, do you mean move? Spin freely? No power to them?

Grub screw is usually the culprit.

Ok what i mean is that when i pick it up i spin 1 wheel only 1 spins not all 4??? i ran it and i noticed it was slow hope that helps. Also i cleaned my truck today and put some WD40 IN SIDE DOG BONES cant really think of what is wrong haven't crashed it....

Savages have differentials not locked axles. all 4 will not spin when turning one.

What happens when you pick your truck up running and give it some gas?

Check your screws coming off the back of the diffs for your diff cups. Mine walked out the other day and I had no power going to them.

Do you mean under throttle?
I am going with my first assumption and say it's the grub screw. Very common on Savages. Check the small screw that goes through your pinion. It's probably missing or broken. Replace it and loctite it good.

your shaer pins could be broken in the cv joints or dog bones

Your right. Thats 90% the problem it happend to me also. What u can do turn in upside down. Spin your wheels, watch your diff cups and the shaft its on. If your shaft is spinning and your cup isn't then its the grub screw. By it in a pack it's 2.50 here in canada comes with 5 or so. Lock Tight It!!! Cheers!
