Default two marks instead of one?!?

Well today i decided to light em up and i did so for only a brief moment (enough to lay a little strip on the cement about 4 feet long). Well funny thing is i got out and looked and there were TWO tire marks... I have the Electronic locking rear end. What's up with that? I thought it would just spin 1 unless i was in 4x4 with the locker on where it would spin 3 wheels. Anyways just wanted to see is this actually a limited slip full time with a locking feature? So weird....

Your right rear had enough traction to transfer the torque to the left, or yeah the ELD acts like a limited slip when off.

The ELD is an open differential when not locked. The first half of your statement is correct.
