This is why the guy who pulled a 180 turn thought the inside wheel was spinning at a different speed..

So in a STRAIGHT LINE our rear diff is indeed locked.
When I pulled the turn, both were spinning. Upon shifting to second (remember in an AT the power is continuous during shifts) the right wheel gripped and the left wheel kept wailing, which Im sure of. Left tire is slightly stripped, which led to the imbalance.

I think its in open diff mode.
