Default rear end lol boom

last night i was ******* around in my truck at the red light with some ******* who wanted to race. so i'm sitting there in drive with my foot on the break reving up a little so he could hear the wistle from the throttle body spacer and intake lol just to mess with him. then light turns green while i'm sitting about 2 grand and get on it BOOM! shot pieces of my spider gears straight out my rear end... i need some options on what to do. i want aftermarket but i don't want to spend a pretty penny.

Eaton LSD or Detroit TrueTrac

If you want cheap look into a FULL LOCKER from Powertrax, ive seen them withhold some low 12 second passes without issue and you can install them yourself.

If gears are shot look into Yukon, Motive, AAM brands for the best durability.
