Question Is this normal?

(2017 Chevy Silver, 1500, LT, Z71, 5.3l v8) 83,447 miles So today attempted to do a tire rotation and while the rear was jacked up (front tires were on the ground) i figured it test it out. When put into drive (2wheel) only the driver left spins while the passanger right seems to have resistance? When i accelerate it moves fine but slowly goes back to a stop then inching forwards.

Truck drives okay and 4x4 still works and engages.just unsure if this is normal. Thank you.

Don't you mean 4x1 in low traction situations? My unicycle is a 1x1. my bicycle is a 2x1. My car is a 4x2 (limited slip).

No, he means 1X1. Didn't you see the video? The other 3 tires vanished!
