I went ridding other day put the ranger in a bind and snap my driver side rear factory axle which I replaced with another factory axle and works great but after that my passenger rear side don't want to pull at all even in turf mode I've checked the axle everything looks good I'm wondering did I mess my diff up? And when I drive in two will lock it don't pull but every once in while that side would make a light popping kinda noise like it's trying to engage but won't. I'm only running 27" tires with factory suspension

You may have broken one of the gears in the rear end. You can remove the rear trans/diff plug and stick a small (clean) magnet in toward the bottom and see what you pull out. if it looks to be teeth from a gear or springs, you have possibly broken the turf mode assy.

There are a few members that have rebuilt their trans/diff, maybe they will chime in.
