Default 1 tire spins

hey guys this is my problem, only one tire spins when i floor it, or on ice or snow and other wet things. how can i make both rear tires spin since my truck is only a 2 wheeler? can i swap the diffs, or what? like what are my options and how much am i looking at? to me its kinda embarassing when only 1 tire spins on a truck. any help would be great

thanks

You need a Limited Slip Differential.

Be Nice, RH....

@OP - you're problem is you have an open diff from the factory and what you want is a limited slip. I'm going to say Auburn, because I've got one and it's great. What you'll want to do is find a shop that does gears, or a 4 Wheel Parts store and get yourself an Auburn LSD for the Chrysler 9.25 axle. There are plenty of good ones other there, Detroit Tru Trac, etc.

Now, it ain't cheap, probably run you $4-500 for the diff and a couple hundred for install. And as long as you've got the axle opened up, maybe it's time to think about upgrading to 4.10 or 4.56 ring and pinion gears...

right now your spining tire is the one with least traction the other side will spin under the correct circumstances

depends on who you have do it and what all you have done. if you just have a gear swap done in a 4wd then gears + master install kit run about 500 and you double that usually for install by the right person. if you ad a Auburn or DTT at the same time the install shouldnt be much more the add another 200-300 for the locker.
