ON MY NEXT OIL CHANGE I WILL TRY A DIFFERENT DEALER SEE WHAT THEY SAY. OTHERWISE I WANT MY $300. BACK!!
I TRIED SPINNING THE TIRE FASTER TO HEAT IT UP, AND IT DIDN'T EVENT TRY TO ENGAGE. BUT IF YOU STEP ON THE GAS IN THE DIRT IT WILL SPIN BOTH TIRES! I DONT GET IT?

its not a locker spanky... it only can hold a small difference between the two tires, when you have one on very slick surfaces, and one on pavement, you will have issues. an old trick is to lightly apply the brakes while trying to roll forward.
However, nothing is wrong with your rear end. when both tires have similar amounts of traction they will both spin, one that level is shifted so that one tire has a dramatic difference, only that one will spin
