axle questions
I have a 95 f150, strait 6, e40d, 4x4, 4.11 gears. I cant seem to figure this out, when i want to show off and make a little smoke, when i cut it to the left, it will sometimes not even break loose, but when i turn to the right.... it will wip around and just burn them to the rim. i guess it has a 8.8 inch, seriosly dought its a posi, could somebody please clear this up for me.

First of all, no Ford has ever had a "Posi". That's what GM uses. With an open diff the right rear is always the tire that wants to spin because it is unloaded by engine torque. The left rear is pushed into the gournd by torque. When you turn left more weight is shifted to the right rear making it harder to spin than when you move forward. When you turn right more weight moves to the left rear making the right rear even easier to spin than when going forward.
