4low question

I have a 2005 FX4 i have recently changed out the hub and the cv joint, once I had the truck in the air I turned on the 4low 4x4 and only three of the tires spin? Is that normal? I thought if I had it on 4low all the tires/wheels move? Can somebody please help?

You have limited slip diffs. 4low changes your gear reduction through the transfer case but does not affect your differentials. If you want all 4 to always turn you will need lockers.

Block the front wheel that's turning and the other front wheel should start spinning. The front diff is an open diff.
