CRAP!!!!! rear end blew up

Today I was changing the fluids in the rear end and I had som nice chunks of gears in the oil. some were even an inch in length!!!!

So I need a new rearend diff.
I am looking at the Powertrax no-slip traction system. but for my rearend they have not released the posi unit yet.

what is the difference between limited-slip and GOVLOK? they have a GOVLOK system and if it will fit I would like to use it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you want the powertrax, you can get an open carrier from a junk-yard for cheap and it will work if you have the 10 bolt rear.

I may think about it, but with me living in the Great White North there is an endless supply of third-gens in junkyards. Heck a junkyard only 2 miles form my house has about 6 or 7 third-gens. Thanks for the offer any way.
