I installed a posi Auburn posi with 3.73's in it myself. I have never had that problem. When I take off, both tires spin without hesitation. You shouldn't have to go in reverse to "activate" the posi. I have never heard that before. That defets the purpose of the posi unit. From what it sounds like to me, either you were miss informed about your rear end carrier when you bought it (they lied to you) and you really have a limited slip (stock-your passenger tire spins, then if it starts to slip, it will kick over to the other tire for tracktion, never both at the same time), OR... you blew your rear end, and need to get a new one.
