Question G80 problems

Today was the first time I have driven my truck since I got back from the track on Sunday. The whole time driving it the rear was locked. Backing out of parking spaces, taking corners, whatever would sit there and chirp and chatter the inside wheel. Anybody have this happen with thier G80?
I am going to open it up and check it out tomorrow for any visible damage. I really hope it dosnt break at thunder this weekend.

Congratulations on making your own custom spool!
No this never happened permanently when I had the g80. Only under heavy acceleration!

My stock G80 started doing that for a few weeks on and off and finnaly I blew the center chunk to pieces. Most guys dont like the detroit because of a little clicking noise, but this locker will never break.

I hope it dont crap out at all, not right now anyway cause I dont have the $$$ to fix it. I have ~80K on mine and I am supprised it has lasted this long. Hopefully I will get a better idea of whats going on when I take a look at it today.
