It could be many things. Over filled diff is one(only fill the diff to the top cross hair or the spider.) Belt could be way over tightened. Forgot to put pins in the axels and over tightened the wheels. If you remove the belt does the front spin freely. Roll it on the ground if no belt and no pinion and the clicker not lock you should hear it clicking and it should roll freely. If it rolls freely you just over tightened the belt. One problem I've seen with a few of these trucks in person is over tightening of belts and screws. It is common to hear run it and it will loosen up, while it will loosen up it is not correct. I've personally seen where screws are so far screwed in that it makes contact with a slipper ,a pinion or the inside of the trans case.
