Default S60 broken?

Ok, so I think my truetrac took a crap..
I had the car lifted to change my oil in the garage. When I went to set it down I noticed that if I spin one tire (car in neutral/ebrake off) the other doesn't even move no matter how hard I spin it? Is this normal for a truetrac?

It's an M6 420rwhp camaro 4:10 s60-stock length. I've had the s60 for probably 14 months and 1,000 miles. It already bent all the m12 strange wheel studs on the left so its upgraded to 5/8 studs this past january. I went to the track about a month ago and ran it 4 times. After the runs when I got it home I noticed more wear on my left rear tire than the right!?! Running bias ply et streets on weld rts.

Any ideas anyone? Should I call strange and bitch? Also, no noises at all, not even gear noise.

I have the s60 with tru trac and it spins the other tire. Not sure what could be wrong with it, but you might want to pull the cover and take a look.

Thanks Ryan. That was the reply I was looking for.

I went and called Strange. Tech told me that when the car is lifted and no load on the rear end it will spin only one tire. Then when torque is applied and on the ground it will spin both. Also the tire wear on the left is due to all the torque going to the left tire first and spinning before the diff transfers it to the right tire. Says its normal and to rotate tires once in a while for wear. I also went under it this morning and spun the pinion yoke and both tires spun in opposite directions. I could also feel some drag when I held the tire and spun the pinion too. Just seemed odd to have one tire spin, like an open diff. Got me worried.

Going to leave it alone and not pull the cover yet since I don't want to buy more fluid-just changed it 2 months ago. I'll have to go do a burnout in a lot and make sure I have 2 patches. Have a go pro I could use to I suppose.
