Ok let me see if I get this
In 2wd you spin only one tire on the rear. in 4wd you spin one tire on the rear one on the front but on opposite sides.
Thats a normal 4x4 you have two open ned differentials. thats ccompletely normal.
if you had posi/limited slip/ ( whateve ryou want to call it its all the same thing) then you would have both rear tires spinning and only one in the front
Its completely normal. i dotn think you have posi traction

You might have a LSD diff but being a 2000 it could be burned out.

whats with all the dakotas around jax being 4x4? we should have a dakota meet. might make mine look lowered :woot:
Ive never had a LSD burn out. Mine is a 2000 and it spins the tires in the dirt. i jsut dont spin them and when I do I dont bury my gas pedal through the floor.2002 RC 4X4 said:

I think I've got this right:
If you've got the 9.25 diff there is the lockright by powertrax, the no-slip traction system by powertrax, and the detroit locker by detroit available.
If you've got the 8.25 diff there is the no-slip by powertrax, and the ARB air locker available.
