Makeshift posi unit help

So I have been having issues with one wheel peel on my truck. I didnt want to spend the money on replacing the clutches or going with a locker or something, so I decided to go try welding the diff. I used the right rod and everything and seemed to get a good weld. I think it might be too good though, because the truck stalls everytime I try to pull out. Any idea what I might have done wrong?

That's a good one, Nick!

Here's one but unfortunately I think it is true. Maybe some of you have seen it before.

I guess that's one way to test the strength of your weld...put 400 horses to it and see what happens first; weld breaking or engine stalling. LOL
