Is it possible to pull the diff side of the CV axle and leave the wheel side and drive like that? I know you can do it on some older trucks, but you have to leave the wheel end attached or the wheel bearing will fall apart and you'll lose your wheel going down the road.
anything specific to 5th gens that will make this not work?

If you pull the CV axle out of the front differential, you will loose oil from the differential and get dirt into it. Could ruin the differential.
"4X3" as you call it, will not really work that way unless you have a front differential lock. I thought only the Off Road and Pro had differential lock, but only on the rear, but I could be wrong.
