    ... in the process of turning the differential drive shaft yoke I could only turn about 6 times before the diff would lock. Why or what would cause this?

    I reversed one of the axels and still locks after several turns....

    Any ideas?

    Pull the cover and have a look.

    Followed ol' chebby's advice. The PO seemed to be just a little too liberal with the silicone sealer. A piece separated is my guess and jammed the gears.
