It is a limited slip, sometimes its supposed to slip. Change the fluid and see if that helps. Ive noticed mine only spins both if i power brake it, tire tread, traction and air pressure affects it too. Its not a locker or a spool

mine did a one wheel burn out once. What happened is i was a novice and did not put in the limited slip additive. Do a fluid swap and use good fluid or buy the additive and see if that helps.

if its the stock 10 bolt check to see if it has the g80 option which i think is located in the glove box but yes check and change fluid and make sure you add the limited slip additive...

Only the 98 auburn clutch style differential requires the additive....

Don't let the naysayers fool you. My torsen stock rear has never, and I mean never done a one wheel peel. Ever. The black marks are always identical is length within a few inches or whatever. It always feels squirrely in the back the moment I break em loose, turning left, right, or going straight, it doesn't matter.

So do all of them require the additive or only the clutch style optioned rear end, I have heard both, on here and at the dealership.
