Volvo A35D Articulating Rock Truck Problem After Replacing A Bearing inside the Dropbox.

Vin: A35DV61294 We recently fixed the Dropbox in our rock truck and put everything back together. we replaced worn out parts replaced all the O-rings and replaced one of the black shifting relays ontop of the dropbox. Motor starts up fine. When we release the parking break and put into Gear(any gear 1,2,3 or Drive) it all does the same thing. The truck will start to move by pressing on the gas but after about 5 seconds or so of pressing on the gas pedal the rock truck stops moving and then pressing on the gas pedal does nothing but rev up the motor and turn the drivelines. Pressing on the panic switch on the floor that activates the 6 wheel drive, will get the truck to move again when you press the gas. the 6 wheel drive does not work however when we tried loading it onto our trailer. I figured we plugged something in wrong but any tips on where to start would be much appreciated. Thank You

    so when you put it in gear and press the accelerator, the truck moves at speed? or just crawls forward? when it stops moving and the accelerator pedal is pressed, is the prop from the transmission to dropbox spinning? sounds more like a torque convertor/ transmission fault than dropbox,
