Default question about a G80 problem

alright, my dad has a 01 tahoe with about 150k on it.

the probelm is the rear end is completely locked up

has ANYONE ever had a G80 lock up on them and not unlock , ive never heard of it

we're hoping it just needs some more fluid in the rear

any suggestions

Mine unlocked when i put it in reverse and turned back and forth.... Could be fried though. Better locked up then blown up, less parts to replace (hopefully).

Your G80 is trashed.
