Default one wheel drive?

Due to an incident today, I found out that my truck is technically working on one wheel right now. How do I fix that?

Get a locker or a limited slip

Like stated above get a limited slip or locker. Cheaper would be getting a limited slip axle from a junkyard and using that.

Limited slip don't always guarantee you'll have power to both tires. It helps, but doesn't always engage right away. A locker would be the only way to guarantee power to both tires. An air locker would be the best as you won't wear out your tires as fast.

There's nothing to fix. That's how open differentials work. Your truck is fine
