binding in reverse


garyc808

Question

I have an 05 tahoe lt 4x4. i have had a problem with something binding when i reverse. I have had two different transmission rebuilds since i have owned it. problem has and still exists. If whatever it is starts to bind. i will puty it back in drive and go forward, then back up. it then usually backs up 5' and then starts to bind again. after driving it for a bit if i stop and then go into reverse usually it wont bind and reverses smoothly. however it has been almost stalling ( deiseling) and sometimes actually stalling while reversing. then it goes back to regular idle when back in drive. I have heard that it most likely has something to do with rear brakes which are disc. please advise.

I don't see it being brake related but I could be wrong. Do you have the G80 locking differential. If you do it may be bound up inside the diff and not unlocking like it should. I'd personally would take it somewhere to look at, I don't know the first thing about inspecting/repairing the differential.

I've heard of people having issues like that with the G80 but I do not have the know how to say that that is you problem. Have you checked the oil level in the rear end? Have you made sure the rear shoes in the parking brake drum are not stuck/frozen and all that is ok? Outer axle bearings? I remember one guy saying some times he needed to kind of harshly hit a tree root or a pot hole or some other object that would jar it and cause the clutches to release. If you have tried all the AT stuff and pulling fwd doesn't release it and it's still bound up, I'd take it to a 4wd/off-road shop that deals with all the locking axle types.
