Why does only one wheel spin when doing a burn out ?
Got's a question about my f-350, when I was leaving a buddy's house the other night , He was busting my b--l's about my 7.3 so I lit the beast up and left a one leg stand about 75 yards. Why didn't both wheels spin ?

If it is LS, there could be too much friction modifier in there. Look at the sticker in the driver's door jamb. Under "AXLE" (if it's a 3.73) it'll say "31" or "C1". C1 = LS, 31 = open diff.
If you have 4.10s, it'll say C2 or 32.

Do you think the axle juice is worn down, because the truck before spun both tires. I don't make a habbit of doing burn outs all of the time but it's been awhile since I have done one. The truck has 116000 on her and I have not changed the axle juice in a long time ?

You can try changing the lube. Try to get 75W-140 without any friction modifier and add your own 2 oz. at a time until it doesn't chatter anymore.
I just changed mine last month, but I put in Royal Purple with the FM already in it. Need to do a burn out to make sure the clutches are working right. Think a cop will buy that if I get busted??
EDIT: If you do decide to change the fluid, look into the '08 cover (I'm assuming your 350 is not a dually). Here's what mine looks like:

3.73 LS. What the difference between C1 & D1 is, I don't know. Here's where I got the info:

Cover comes by itself. You'll want to get SS cap-head bolts for the install. I'll see if I can find the size.

The only thing I did different was use cap-head bolts instead of hex head, makes no differance.
