ZL1 one wheel burnout problem?

Any ZL1s having 1 wheel burnout issues? I occasionally had this on my SS stock diff, but did not expect to have it when I upgraded to the ZL1 driveline.

I'm curious if this is a known issue, and there's a solution... Or did I get a bad diff?

Your the first I have heard of anyone having issues with the rear.
Post back when you figure out the issue.

The beginning of the video shows my problem. Looking closer, the water box was dry my first time through.

Same for me, just got new Michelin's to put on and the right rear was worn down more.

Yes, but apparently I have the only one not performing as designed.

Umm, if the tires aren't breaking lose trying to do a burnout, why would you need to heat them up?

I would say just make sure traction control is off.

I would try to change the rear diff fluid. I suspect it has something to do with the friction modifier in the fluid. You are getting a lot of bite from those tires but the dif should still lock it up.
