Default G80 problems?

Earlier I was backing out of an ice covered driveway and the tires spun a bit, and then it hit the blacktop and caught pretty hard. Then i started to go down the street and the right rear tire locked up every 10 ft for about 150 ft then stopped locking up and I have drove about 120 miles since then and have not had any problems. So is my g80 about to go out or what is the deal.

It may have just malfunctioned, mine has done weird stuff once or twice. The first time I changed the rear diff fluid, I cleaned everything down with Brakleen before buttoning up the cover. Filled it up and road tested and the rear diff was staying locked and binding around turns. After a few turns it popped and has been fine ever since, except for maybe one other time where the same thing happened on it's own.
