Default #2 g80 is down for the count

It rarely locks up and when it does it doesnt want to unlock. Sometimes when I go around corners it binds and I can hear one wheel dragging. Feels like your in 4wd on aspalt but your not.
Other than that I get the one wheel tire fire.

Anyone know what causes this. I know the components are just weak but why is it binding around corners?

Get some 75w90 2 quarts and some limited slip additive and change the oil out I had this same problem and changed the fluid out last night and it works just fine now but its still a weak g80. It will soon be in the dumpster where it belongs for a detroit locker no problems after that.

Or a Eaton would be a nice addition.
