rear diff
since i have bout my truck i always thought that both of the rears spun but never really checked. it has always kicked out sideways and when ever i turn eather left or right the outside tire starts to spin or like kick a little. is this normal i nidnt know if it has a locker or anything.
i had my friend watch me do a break stand and it spun both tires and kicked out sideways. left 2 nice marks to :)
does my year have a stock locker type thing in it? or did i screw something up inside?

im pretty sure our trucks have posi, in which, there are clutches in the diff, which grab when your going straight like that, they allow the tires to spin at a differnt speed around corners to make it smooth, but when your stuck off road, it only gives the tire with no traction power (this never seemed right to me)
Im sure someone else will chime in

You probably have a factory limited slip.
Check the axle code on the door jam label or the tag on the rear diff and compare it to this chart

actually for on-road use in snow/ice i find it harder to keep traction and keep the truck moving forward. it like to fish and dog track. could just be too much skinny pedal too
