Default new guy with a quick question

Just bought a 2004 hemi sport with 4x4 with 92k on it. I have noticed it os a one tire fire when it is in 2H, why is that? Shouldnt it be both tires spinning? My 4 wheel works good and all 4 spin. Im just curious if maybe it doesnt have limited slip.

4wd has a different setup that 2wd. You may or may not have a LSD. You might have an open differential.

LSD was optional

Correct LSD is optional... so you might not have one which is why you're "one tire firing" lol
