Put the vehicle into 4WD?
It should move on the basis of the traction of the front wheels. The rear wheels should simply free-wheel. Am I wrong?
of corse you can
The center shaft in a 2-wheel drive transmission is shorter then a 4-wheel drive transmission because the 2-wheel drive does not have a transfur case on the back of it. NOW, You can take the center shaft out of the 4-wheel drive trans. and install it in the 2-wheel trans. and it will now work in the 4-wheel drive vehicle. To change the center shaft requires both transmission to be taken all the way apart.
You can take the front drive shaft out and it will run on the rear wheels making it 2 wheel drive.but i have done this and the truck does not get any better gas mileage and it handles like crap in the winter without the all while drive running. I had recently put the front shaft back in and the truck runs much better.also for the future you should have the same tires front and back with the all wheel drive its less friction on the axel's and will last much longer.
If you have a 4 Wheel Drive (AWD) model it is the cylindrical shaft that comes from the area of the engine compartment back to the rear axle. If you have only a 2 Wheel Drive model your vehicle will not have one.
To replace a drive shaft gaiter on a Citroën, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel and the drive shaft from the hub, then detach the old gaiter by cutting it off. Clean the shaft, then slide the new gaiter onto the shaft, applying grease as needed, and secure it with the provided clamps. Finally, reassemble the drive shaft, wheel, and lower the vehicle back to the ground.
To replace the drive shaft gaiter on a Movano, start by lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the wheel and the drive shaft from the hub, then carefully cut off the old gaiter.

It means that the truck does not have four wheel drive. The truck is rear wheel drive and is pushed from the back. 4x2 means a four-wheel vehicle in which engine power is transmitted to only two axle-ends: the front two in front-wheel drive or the rear two in rear-wheel drive.
To replace a drive shaft on a Renault Scenic, start by safely lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the wheel and brake components, then detach the drive shaft from the wheel hub and the gearbox, typically by removing circlips or bolts. Once it’s free, install the new drive shaft by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are secure. Finally, reassemble the brakes and wheel, and lower the vehicle back to the ground.
Not all driveshafts are the same but as for a rear wheel drive vehicle you can remove the bolts on the flange of the rear differential which will release the back side of the shaft and then just pull it straight out of the transmission.
You will need to change the gearbox, swing arm, back wheel and, probably, brake arrangement and shocks.
A 1998 Oldsmobile Delta 88 is a rear wheel drive car. This means that a drive shaft runs from the back of the transmission to the rear axle to transfer power.
All true trucks are rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. Because of towing and payload needs trucks are rear wheel drive or 4wheel drive. If you have a heavy loadd in the back of the truck and it was front wheel drive you would not get any traction, the same as if you towing a load.
