you can check by opening up the rear and see if it is a clutch-packed posi, etc... btw, do you have the 7.5" or 8.8" rear?

Most cars have limited slip differentials. They are commonly referred to as lockers because they will lock up under torque but will also turn at different speeds for corners. If you installed a spool, your rear would be locked all the time. Detroit lockers tend to be noisy around corners. However, if you have anything I would bet it is a trac lok. It is probably an open diff, it just happened to get both wheels going. I have heard about a trick old racers would use when they didn't have a locker. Back up a couple of feet and then hit and both tires should turn. Don't know if it actually works, just saying I have heard that several times.Juggalo_X said:

If your wheel is slightly turned and it relieves pressure off of the not turning wheel it will break lose.
