going around corners and the traction lock disengages, so that's why around turns if you floor it you get a one tire fire... but straight line you should get both... mine does it with 113,000 on the clock gonna rebuild it soon too

That's odd, I have the same situation. I have an automatic and when I would get on it around corners my passenger tire would only spin. Now when I push the brake in and romp the gas both wheels spin. [sm=dontgetit.gif]
Consider yourself lucky. If BOTH rear wheels spun while you were going around a corner, the whole car would wind up spinning out.

Pushing the brakes too hard could give you a one wheel peel.

Sounds like your diff isn't working right. It may be time to rebuild the clutch pack.[:@]
detroit true trac, no clutches, no clutches to repair down the road
