thats normal. the tires with the least amount of resistance spin. so 4 wheel drive is basically 2 wheel drive unless you got lockers front and back. if something was broken on your truck, say a cv joint was busted or missing. all the power would go to that side and no wheels would spin up front. possible your spider gears are trashed but doubt it. if you get bored lift up the driverside of your truck with a jack and put it in 4x4 and see if both of those will spin
