Tires not spinning?!

I have a Moser 9" locker and 4.30 gears with mickey tompsons on back. One tire wants to spin while the other starts then stops. what could this be?

Thanks for any help!

your locker's messed up? the second one tires slips and the other one doesn't, your locker should lock both axles and they should both spin.

The setup has less than 5K miles on it. This has never happened before. could the brakes be grabbing too hard all of a sudden and cause it to come unlocked?

why would you put limited slip additive into a locker?

Did you get rid of your abs unit? did your car originally have 3 or 4 channel abs? If you make a "signature" or a "sig" with a quick description of your car and what you have done to it, it would make it a lot easier to help you.

What year is your car?

The additive is a limited slip additive that you put in limited slip differentials (which you do not have) so you don't need it.

Is it making any noise? This may be a dumb ? but have you actually seen the inside of the rear? Maybe it's not a locker but a tru-trac or a limited slip and its busted.....just my .02

it's a locker for sure, you can hear it lock when you touch the throttle. It's a new peice from moser so i sure hope they wouldn't make that mistake. i think i'm going to take my ABS stuff off.
