Ok, pulled into work tonight, went to back into my spot, and she won't go?? Get out, take a look, nothing, went to back up again, goes into gear, still won't go. So a buddy comes and takes a look, I gas her, and the front right(passenger side) is locked up. Only in reverse though. What can it be, I can't look at it till tomorrow afternoon, some some insight, or just opinions would be appreciated!! I say the Differencial maybe, but thats the side with the axel disconnect, and the driver side spins just dandy.
 






It sounds like you have a loose caliper. If the top bolt falls out of the caliper it can fall back into the wheel and prevent it from rotating backwards but not from going forward.
 






MRBOYLE...... You are the MAN!!!! That was it, just went out for brake, and she's better then new. Gotta love working in a chemical plant, stainless steel bolts galore!!
Thank you VERY MUCH. :D
