Default 1999 V8

Hey all. I have a 1990 v8. I’ve noticed when I park and then take off turning left, it seems like the rear diff is locked and makes the tire “hop/skid”. Wondering what would be something to look for. Hoping it isn’t anything internal. Also, while I’m driving I feel a vibration and the car pulls to the left. If I take my foot off the gas it jerks and straightens out. I’m sure it’s a long shot but if anyone may know something I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Hello,

I would say your diff lock is engaged. Manually release it and try again.

Ciao

I wouldn’t know how to do that. It’s not all the time it happens. It sporadic. Comes and goes while driving
