It definitely seems like the left rear isn’t spinning very fast.

The shop I just talked to thinks it’s just normal since I don’t have 4x4 but this seems ridiculous.
I have never even checked the rear diff fluid, TBH. It may well be original.How fresh is the fluid in it? The Eaton Gov-Lock's operation is sensitive to the condition of the fluid. Mine would have problems unlocking but has been working perfectly since I replaced the fluid, including a thorough flushing of the differential bits to get all the old fluid out.

Now that you’ve brought it to my attention, I’m wondering about the temperature aspect.
I have issues every single year with my trans fluid freezing, so it’s not far fetched to think the rear diff fluid may also be vulnerable. I can’t even use cheap power steering fluid because the wheel will be completely locked in the morning.
Looks like I’m going to put the Tahoe on the waiting list to get ripped apart and rebuilt.
Should be a fun 2024.
Well… It would be a pretty mild refresh:What kinda "rebuilt" are you talking here?
