Re: 10 bolt posi didnt spin posi once

You probaly have the Governor Lock differential. This differential is designed to lock when one wheel spins faster than the other. Under normal use it acts like a standard differential, until one wheel looses traction. It is also designed so that it will not lock up above a certain speed. This is a safety feature to keep an inexperienced driver from loosing controll if they are up to speed on a slick road and one wheel starts to spin. The Governor Lock is designed for light truck use, but many of them were installed in the 3rd gen F body cars.
