Driveable or sell it?

Q: i have a 2003 2500 hd quad cab with ho diesel and six-speed and the anit-spin differential. i have just recently had the truck stuck and only one tire would pull. i have taken it to the deaer and they said it was working properly. they said the way to get it to work from a stop with one wheel spinning was to apply the emergancy brake. is this really the way this differntial is supposed to work. does that mean every time i try to move the truck in slippery conditions i have to apply the emergany brake. this just doesnt sound right to me. is anybody else having any problems with this differential or do i have a problem with my truck and my local dodge dealer. i know the anti spin in my 98 2500 hd you did not have to do this and it seemed to work much better. thanks in advance. tom .

i suspect the dealerships tell the customers to set the e-brake for a couple of reasons 1. its easier to explain and easier to do than the above procedure 2. brakes are only covered under warranty for 12000 miles how about a line lock bg bet you light em up pretty good powerbraking g ill start watching reality tv shows when i can vote people off the planet. .
