<VV> Wheel locked up

[corvairduval at cox.net]

More information needed:

When on the lift, and you turn one wheel, does the opposite wheel turn in
the opposite direction or same direction?

Was there any bearing howl/grinding before the wheel lock up? Especially
was the howl/noise different power on (accelerate) and coast?


And yes, there are some differentials and differential parts here in
Virginia.

I have been following the oil threads so I changed my oil (don't know what
was
in it, bought the truck 6 months ago) put GL4 in it. Started up the other
evening and headed down I-64 in Nitro, WV go about two miles on the
interstate
running 60 MPH the right rear wheel locked up leaving a black streak on the
interstate about 100 feet.  Not saying the oil did it but 1st. question I
think
its the transaxle maybe the spider gears don't know just what some mechanics
said but someone else on VV may know.  Second question does anyone on east
coast
have a rear end they want to sell? If that is the problem.  Put the truck
on the
rack and the wheels turn free till you try to turn them the same way, or
start
with wheels off floor just kills the engine. Thanks Roger mrmaxum at aol.com.

Sounds like Spider gear/s  since only one wheel locked up.
