FYI, Since you have a one-ton, the bolts that fasten the driver side axle to the final drive flange are shorter than the passenger side. If you put a longer bolt in from the passenger side, the bolt will hit the final drive housing and prevent the Driver's side wheel from turning. I don't think this is your problem since you did the passenger side which uses the longer bolts.

The differential gears in the final drive balances the torque between the two axles. If the differential got locked up, you would be skidding one front wheel or the other while turning a corner.

I can envision a dragging front passenger side brake causing you the symptoms you describe.
