Pop your rear end open, see if you have a locker, or if your spider gears are welded.

If you like to off road you can enjoy the extra traction, and live with the side effects, or if you don't, you can swap in an open differential carrier. This requires setting up the ring & pinion again.

I would still check to make sure it's that, and not something else.

THIS is true. Better to know for sure than guess and be wrong.
