What the H*** , front tire spin

Car running fine, pull out of the gas station and smoke my front tires??? No idiot lights or anything. What gives??? I have front wheel drive now. No fuses have been touched

I occasionally can get a front tire to bark when going rather "quickly" about it.

The transfer clutch is not working, the transfer valve is probably stuck. The fix is to pull the back off the box and replace the "C solenoid/transfer valve assemble".
Don't let the front wheels spin, you can break the front diff.

Sorry mate, I ment the gear box. You don't have to remove the gear box, just the rear section. Its not a big job, cost about $250? do a search for 'C solenoid replacement'.
