when it comes to rear ends im clueless lol. well i got my car on the road about 3 weeks ago and have been taking nice and easy. Reciently i started pushing the car alot. well i noticed if i dump the clutch or step on it hard in 1st gear, ill only spin one tire. Now i have nitto 555r's on it and they grip hard but when they do spin, its usually only 1 tire. Why is this? any ideas? This may be normal but im just curious. Thanks guys

your trac lock is worn out. It is not normal and could make one tire wear alot faster. Look for a trac lock rebuild kit from ford racing and rebuild it.

Repack the clutchs in the rear, I did that and they were fine for a year or two. I can find out exactly what size and how many discs to get.

Yep, trac-lock rebuild, or a good posi unit is needed. Before you go ordering anything though, make sure you don't have a 7.5" 4 cyl rearend in there for some reason.
