Left rear spinning
When I ran my truck at the track last month,my friend who was running his 00 Silvy,5.3, in the other lane noticed that my left rear was spinning during the burnout. When I washed the truck,I noticed pieces of rubber on the body behind both tires. Now,I don't know much about rears but I thought I had a 3.42 peg which would only drive the right rear. Can someone smartify me on this?

just becuase you have a peg leg doesn't mean that the right one will always break traction and spin. Its whatever wheel has the less amount of traction that will spin, now if the traction is 50/50 meaning its equal traction to both tires then both should spin. think of it this way if you jack up your truck with only one tire off the ground the ground and the other one on the ground then the one off the ground will always spin.

what happened was when you went through the water box, the left tire got more soaked than the right one. once you hit it to burnout, the left side cought spinning and the right one didn't
