Well my new (to me) sidekick locked up today.... Looks like the rear diff blew out on it, it doesn't move in 2wd just revs, in 4wd the front pulls fine. But there is a whole lot of bad noise coming out of the back.... grrrrrrrrrr .... the rear left rear end pull out totally towards the left a good 8 inches too.
So I have a sidekick for sale for parts or repair! I think I'm gonna buy a GV, gonna shop around.
