I normally leave them unlocked but today I accidentally left my front hubs locked and cruised down the interstate. With it like that, I've got a pretty decent pull to the left. I've got an Auburn LSD up there. Any thoughts on where I might start looking?
 
I also see that my T-case blew out a bunch of fluid. Is this normal when you run them with the hubs locked (but 2WD) on the interstate?
 
never had it blow out fluid except for the time i had to pull my rear driveshaft and limp home in front wheel drive....


I don't know about the pulling... i was gonna ask if it was because the diff is on the passenger side but since you have a limited slip i don't see how that could happen.

I put a ton of miles on my truck in the winter with the hubs locked but in 2wd. It doesn't hurt anything.
 
Maybe I overfilled the T-case at some point. I don't figure I'm hurting it, but I have the breather routed to the engine compartment and it's annoying to blow fluid out in there.
