Default Is my locker going out???

So just went to the store. Had to pull out across 2 lanes of oncoming traffic and spun the tires a little when I first took off. After I got straight I kept hearing a slight screech and a light jerking coming from the rear end. I turned into the store a short bit later and as I was turning I heard a few more screeches and then a mild pop and everything felt fine at that point...

So I'm thinking my G80 is fixing to bust...

Anyone agree??

Thanks!

Sounds like it's dying to me. I didn't have a G80, but before I put in my truetrac, I killed the spider gears 3 times in my truck. I had really loud popping and jerking when making turns when it happend.

It'll do that some times. Some people report it doing it on several occasions and others it only did it once.
But eventually it's going to pop into pieces.
