need help with rear end

[02gmcbandit]

well guys i dont know how to explain wats going on too great but heres what happen. i went to make a u turn, cars was coming so when i did it i eased into the gas a bit and tires spun over, makin the rear lock, well once i got it strait it kept pulling to the right hard, so i went to make a left turn to turn off and check it ( about a mile down the road ) and the rear was still locked , i put it in park, cut off the truck get out and check , everything seems fine, so i get in, start it up , put it in reverse and back up about 5 feet, then put it in drive and everythings back to normal,

whats going on?? is my rear end going out???

is it a G80?

if its a g80 the side gears & spider gears are prolly stripping out.seen it happen alot.pull your cover off and look at it. gm dealers keep them in stock or they did when i had to buy some.

how hard would it be to install the tru trac? i dont trust my local shops but have never messed with a rear end myself before but i'm a quick learner and very good with a wrench

Its not so much the instal, but the back lash and using the right shims unless you know a mechanic/ trans- rear end place that could let you borrow shims and tool to measure backlash. i had a mechanic help me with mine cuz he had the tools and it took about 3 hours to get it all figured out.. take your time and be pickyy..
