'71 disconnect front hubs, sprague sticking?

[Shelby1962]

On my '71 5 ton we removed the front hub covers and installed a set of blanks. The truck goes down the road much better but the driveshaft is still spinning the front axle. Shouldn't the transfer case stop spinning the front driveshaft? Do I need to remove the airline going to the transfer Case?
Not sure what to do at this point.

Call me, 703-389-6705, sprag is not sticking, blank hub covers WILL NOT support the outer axle ends, causing damage/ware fairly quick.

Yup, interrupt the air supply. Since it is an automatic T-case, it kicks in front wheel drive when the rears spin faster than the front. Since you disconnected the spline caps, it thinks the rears are spinning.

Do I need to interrupt the upper or lower airline going to the transfer case?

Not sure, its been a while since I've been in one, probably both. I think one line puts it in forward and the other puts it in reverse.

Edit, I'd call Ron and see what he has to say about it.

He did, we got the issues worked out
