As mother always said, better to be safe than sorry!! :eyebrow:

I noticed today when driving around, my truck is always fish-tailing around corners and from a dead stop on a straight lane.

Now I know we have one wheel wonders..but why all the sudden I lay rubber down on both tires?? I have fairly new (stock brand) tires.. could this be a sign something is broken?

Absent e-locker or TrueTrac, it is a sign that you have equal traction on both rear tires.

in dirt or gravel i lay down 2 strips, not sure about the street though

are you applying the brakes while this is happening?

 

[adamdude04]

No brakes. On normal driving roadways, night and day (hot/cold pavements).

This is weird though just because before I would lay one wheel only..then the last few months I would lay only one tire, or both tires..now it's just locked to lay down both tires.

An open rear diff still sends equal power to both wheels....UNTIL one loses traction. You'll always spin both tires for some period of time...even if it's only a foot or so until one tire starts slipping.
I'd bet that you're noticing it more now because your rear tires are worn a bit.

yeah they have about 5k miles on em now.. I did a test today on dry pavement. laid down to lines about 100ft long

Nice! any pics? lol. Check the fluid and see if you can find anything in it. As long as the rear end isn't making any weird noises or anything i wouldnt really worry about it too much....except for the excess wear on tires haha

nah the pavement around here is too dark for the camera to pick up the tracks I made. You can barley see em in person and when I tried taking a photo of it, nothing.

Well I just sold the T..so I'm not worried about it now!!
