SilveradoSSvancity Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I was driving home from from a friends the other day in the rain. Did a small fishtail and then took a left turn just shortly after that. And the truck seemed to hop like the rear end was locked in or something. it did it two more times before i got home. Then when i reversed out of my driveway today it seemed to be fine and no longer does it.. Has anyone else experienced this ? or knows what the problem is?

90zxdriver Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Sounds like the G80 might be showing its age. I have heard about other people having problems with it locking and then not unlocking. The G80 is far from bulletproof. The fishtale probably made it engage due to the spinning wheels. Reversing out of your driveway might have unlocked it if it was still engaged.

SilveradoSSvancity Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Ya once i reversed the truck the hop went away, so i guess it unlocked itself. Is it something that I should be concerned about because id like to prevent any major problems from arising.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desrtrat Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 how many miles on the truck, and when was the gear oil changed last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I would pull the fill plug and check the oil level and get a pen magnet and see what comes out. Like said above, if the fluid hasnt been changed in the last 40K I would do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilveradoSSvancity Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 The truck has 68 thousand miles on it , and the fluid was changed at least 4 or 5 months ago i believe. Thats a good idea with the magnet ill probably try that sometime next week and change the fluid again just to be on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I actually bought a drain and fill plug magnet just to keep an eye on things. I figure every little bit helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
