Suregrip not so sure...

I have a '97 reg cab 4x4 with the "limited slip dif" option code on the
options sticker of the glove box. If I nail it from a dead stop, then I
get two strips of rubber. So far so good. If I have the truck cornering
hard (and I mean *really* hard), the inside rear tire comes up, and just
spins uselessly with no power getting to the ground at all. After a
second or so of being dead in the water (and bouncing off the rev.
limiter a couple of times), the inside tire comes down with a driveline
wrenching bang/squeal, and things get underway again. Same thing happens
if I try to "spin" the truck around under power at more than 10-15 mph
(the unloaded tire seems to get all the power, rather than both tires so
I can spin the truck around). Is this the way that suregrip works on
these trucks?? I'm use to a torsen limited slip in my Supra which works
at any speed and I can easly "spin" the car around with power.

Any info appreciated...

Craig
