    diff lock up / posi?

    I have a 90 sambar had it in the shop yesterday did three burnouts when i looked both tires right from the start laid rubber. I do not have diff lock that I know of and was wondering if this is normal? I had it in 2 wheel drive. it is not supercharged.

    yes that is normal for a truck with low km's. my truck lock's them up most of the time.

    if you want to check it jack it up and you will know. maybe some one welded the diff.

    I don't find it unusual with such a light rear end. Try lightin em up while turning. If the rear end passes ya... then you have something.

    Well the bumper broke, mounts cracked on the bottom witch I can fix ez by putting a washer to hold it on... lol but I knew it was going to hit the top of the hill, and I have plans to make a nice bush bumper for the truck. But other then that truck still drives 100% strait on the hiway. Also the front control arm has a little lip on it. But I think that was from hitting a little rock the week before.
