Um it would be RWD.. Trucks are usually RWD to begin with. Oh ya and a helpful tip stop working on your car with the garage door shut and it running.

if it's four-wheel drive, and you have the rear driveshaft removed, then it would technically be a front-wheel drive
But a lot of 4wd wont move with the rear shaft missing, something about fluid loss and also acting like an open diff.

I have watched guys drive w/o the rear shaft. They busted the u-joints in a truck pull. They used 4wd to limp the truck off the "track".

Interesting, I have seen many that wouldnt move at all when the rear shaft wasnt connected. Still once you factor in fluid loss (assuming the slip yoke is part of the drive shaft and not the tail shaft) you wont be going far. Cant be right all the time I guess.
I am goingto burn a post just to say this is the dumest question ever asked

I aint saying its good for it and/or there wouldnt be problems. I just saw it. I doubt they drove the truck home like that. I only saw them drive it back to the pit area.

I know what you are saying, im not tyring to call you a liar at all. Just stating what I have seen that is all. A little bit of smartass thrown into the mix as well.
OK, thank you guys for the overwhelming response. I knew for a fact it was rear wheel drive, we just wanted to prove this kid who thinks he knows about cars. Please for the love of god don't think I wasn't sure about this, of course its rwd. I just wanted to show him that we arent the only ones who know this. Oh god, my reputation has been killed lol. Thanks guys, I think he got the message.
Update; he didn't get the message. We told him we were gonna put the front of the truck on jackstands and take the wheels off then floor it and since he 'knows for a fact' it's front wheel drive, it should be fine.
Total douchebag, why do people feel the need to act like they know s&% about cars when they don't? I'll never understand it. I mean, if there is something I don't know about, I find it a better use of time to ask about it then to pretend I'm an expert on the subject. ::sigh::

Why not get on the ground and show him the driveshaft? Or even better, do a nice brake stand/burnout in his driveway.

Idk, I had my heart set on the jackstand idea lol, much more destructive
I wanna meet this kid, there is a potential for alot of fun to be had. Now start asking him about RX-7s. Like where is the cam located, in the block or in the heads? How many valves per cylinder they have? Hell, even ask for signs to know when your muffler bearing is shot. Best of all convince him that all the screws in the dash require a left handed screw driver to remove them.
Back on topic, plz talk him into jacking the front of the truck up and taking the front wheels off. His stupidity deserves it and it also deserves a video. Just make sure everyone stays safe during it, we dont need any injuries.

His other claim was that in his car when the key is turned to the on position (not started) the power windows won't operate and the car must be started for them to work. When asked why, he replied 'It's an automatic'. The look of failure in his eyes when it went down was pretty priceless.
reminds me of the my teacher was using my car (ld9 sedan) as a guinea pig in electrical systems class. He popped the hood and asked the rest of the students, where the spark plug wires, distrubtor and coil were at. To my amazement noone said a word. until one kid said it doesn't have any cause it runs on glow plugs. I haven't laughed so hard other than the time we one guy at autozone looking for a radiator for a 78 volkswagen bug for like 10 minutes till he told us it's a dealer item.
ok, tell this guy he needs to forget anything he has ever been taught or anything he thinks he knows about cars and come talk to us
I have no idea where he gets this @!#$
its "an automatic so the windows won't go down when the engine is off"
wtf....no really, wtf, this guy scares me.

Yea, he's basically not allowed to touch my car anymore. One time I made the mistake of asking him to put the windows up....the r-tard started the car then immediately stalled it. He thought the clutch was my brake??? or some crap like that. I didn't even ask him why he turned it on in the first place, I just told him get the *&^% out...
I'd take it upon myself to teach him about cars but it's so darn fun proving him wrong
um, wow.....
you had also better tell him to get that winter air out of his tires, and he is WAY overdue for a lightbulb rotation.
f'n idiot.
i dont think you CAN teach him about cars....since he thinks he knows everything about them...
