Rear wheels on 2000 super duty f250 skid in [reverse only] in four wheel drive. In two wheel drive the drivers side locks up in [reverse only] and you have to pour on the diesel to get it to move with the passenger side only. I think the brakes are jamming the brake drum as there was a slight grinding sound for a couple weeks in the rear drives wheel.
I hate to say it but it sounds like you have a severe problem in the rear end. Here are a couple of things i would do. First pull off your tires and wheels. Of course you need to put the truck on jack stands and block the wheels for safety! Disconnect your rear drive line so you know nothing from front diff or trans could be affecting it. Next spin the brake rotors by hand and inspect them for severe damage. Go forwards and backwards. Also listen in your rear end for grinding or clunking noises and also excessive play front foward to reverse. And last drain your oil and put your finger up inside the housing as far as you can and feel for large pieces that should not be there. This should give you a good idea if it is in your braking sytem your rear end or wether you need to start looking at front diff. or the trans. If all is good on rear end do the same thing for front diff and inspect it as well. Make sure you pull front driveline off!
Testimonial: "my problem appears to be the inner brake pad which was used up and slipped out of place and would wedge itself between the housing and the hub. Thanks"
