Does anyone have experience with a diff problem where the inside wheel does not free up when turning? Both right and left turns result in the inside tire attempting to engage.

Mike may be right in the end but there is a method to unstick them (if you get lucky). Drain your oil and put in the proper limited slip oil. Add a tube of the GM antislip additive at the end. Find a large parking lot (think Sunday AM) and after everything is warmed up drive the car hard and do tight figure eights (more like connected zeros. If you hear a loud pop and you are still moving the clutches came free--if they do drive some lazy figure eights to clean them. If as Mike says the pinion gear is stuck--out it comes! Best of luck!

If you have a Pow-R-Lok ot sounds as if the clutches are stuck. If you have an open diff then your pinion gears could be stuck. Either way you need to open it up and take a look.
