Default Aubern posi problem

I've recently changed the rear gears on my Impala from the stock 3.08 to 3.73. Setup was very easy and gears are silent. One thing I noticed, when the rear wheels were up only the driver side is spinning, even when the cruise control was set to around 40, the passenger side wheel was barely moving and can be turned by hand either way. I thought the posi was shot, so after breaking in the gears I gave it a full throttle launch and had a perfect 11. Should I change the posi or leave it alone.

Do a google for Auburn's website. I seem to remember them having some info on testing the posi. FWIW, I wouldn't change it as long as it's hooking both tires. The last one I had go bad started only catching one wheel sometimes. Slowly over time it got to where it would never catch with both wheels.
