Will it chirp all four wheels if full time transfer?

FYI-- You shouldn't have much difference if any, between
the right and left hand side with the limited slip diff.

If you do, your rear end might be messed up, or doesn't
have the correct limited slip friction additive that is
required when you do an rear end lube change.

My RT will leave 2- equal length 10"x25' patches of rubber
on a moments notice. The 4x4RT we have will 'chirp' both
tires at the same time :P
