help

so i was driving and i think my rear end was kicking hard cause it was slipping in the snow. but when i pulled around a building to turn around it just stopped and made a loud ggrinding noise. it still go into all gears just fine. but the wheels wont move and makes that grinding sound. im thinking it might be something in the diff thats messed up.

Could be. jack it up and find out. Leave the e-brake off and try to spin the wheels, dont forget to choke ur front tires first. Take a look at the axel shafts too. Maybe ur rear calipers seized up, check those too.
