Just start at the center diff and work your way to the tires to see where it is slipping. If the front center dogbone is powering the front diff then most likely you busted a outdrive pin inside the diff or broke an outdrive shaft that the pin goes into. There's plently of threads on the diff problem, and thankfully, there's a fix to it too. Most guys here have ordered the upgrade kit which contains beefed up diff pins because the stock pins can snap. Then, they temper the outdrive shafts with a torch and it looks like the diff is bulletproof after that.

sounds like a front diff cup shaft broke. That's what mine did when the front left snapped. Only had rear wheel drive. Check out the threads on tempering the diff cups.

As per catchaser start from the centre and work up the drivetrain, I've had a pin come out the centre dog bone and I've snapped numerous drive cup shafts and both will give you the same result as will an axle driveshaft losing a pin unless you run heavy diff lube then you'll have 3 wd if you bust a cup shaft, pin or lose a pin. Easily fixed and upgraded for free. Make sure you green loctite all the dogbone pins
