There is no problem with your rear end. My 1994 F150 does the same thing, it is because the trucks are not equiped with Positraction (limited slip). So that is the only side spinnging. The only way i think you could make both spin is to install a limited slip.

same thing.. when the rear end breaks loose only one side is spining so the torque from that wheel send the truck that way... LOL physics class and knowledge of cars/trucks really pay off.

so how can my truck clame that its a 4x4 if it only has one rear wheel spinning?

Just because one wheel is spinning doesnt mean its not 4x4.. 4x4 just locks the front end to the back.. u really only have 2 wheels wih traction.. both all 4 wheels (or 2) will pull the truck WHEN its moving, but as soon as you get slipage, all the power is pushed to one (or two) wheels depending if your in 4x4 or not. One way you could fix that is by installing a limited slip diferential. Probably a costly upgrade but ay be worth it. You know its awesome in the snow or sticky situations, your truck.
