Why can I only get one wheel to spin during a burnout??
I have a 1995 OBS K2500 6 lug Chevy that has been LS swapped everything else is stock and no matter if I’m on asphalt or gravel I can only get one wheel to spin during a burnout. Why can’t I get both wheels to spin.

You're on the wrong forum. This site is for F Body 3rd generation Camaros and Firebirds....besides the fact that if that's your question, you should be asking a d hanging out with the other clowns on any one of a number of Facebook groups.

Yeah he took a left turn instead of a right and ended up here, not even close.

GMT400 platform did not come with an LSD. There was a factory "locker" option but it wasn't common.
All that being said - the forum you want is GMT400.com but be warned, there are alot of folks over there is a whole discussion over there (that is vehemently defended) on the merits of lifting 2WD trucks.
So yeah.

Questions like this reach the forum because of google searches. Although they're not third gen related, the user asking the question usually doesn't realize this is a vehicle specific forum.
The 1991 454SS I used to own was classified as a GMT400. It had a 14 bolt diff with the crappy gov loc diff. This was the lightest vehicle this diff was installed in. Basically a 3/4 ton truck diff with 5 bolt rims on a 6" circle. Not as good as a proper locking diff but better than an open diff.
