you have an open differential meaning theres no limited slip in there. buy one. that'll fix it.

use the search function if you wanna know which kind to put in.

You could put the right rear wheel on something dry and the left one in mud. Then the left one will spin - problem solved!

I think what you need is a locker. There are many to choose from, just use the search function. Hope this helps.

no he needs a limited slip unless he's doing hardcore offroading. Limited strip is for the street. There is a big difference

just a whooooolllllle lot of chirping going around corners. to the noobs who didnt know hemi slappin is not serious. In fact, hemi slappin deserves a slappin for that comment lol. DO NOT weld them together unless your truck never sees pavement.

Agree with AF on this one, the OP needs either an Auburn or DTT. IMO a true locker is NOT meant for a daily driver, UNLESS it is a selectable locker and if you get one in the rear of an IFS 4x4 truck (front LSD or LOCKERS not an option), then you are wasting a whole lot of cash.

Besides, if you apply a little brake or e-brake with a good, medium to high bias LSD you can get it to hold almost as well as a true locker...

Don't be so quick to think you don't have the factory LSD. Sometimes the factory one requires you to slightly tap the brake while accelerating. If that doesn't work then Ditto what every one else has said.
