    If you disconnect the drivshaft to the rear, make sure you mark which bolts go where. If it gets reconnected, it must be exactly the same bolts in the same holes.
    Try pumping out the bevel gear oil and putting fresh oil in. So long as the road is dry, you should not have a problem on interstates.

    Can't comment on your diagnosis, but I've read of quite a few folks on this forum who have converted from AWD to FWD by just removing the rear driveshaft -- it doesn't seem any more involved.

    Good luck.
