I suggest getting a brand new cross pin as well, if there is ANY wear on your stocker.

Here is a Powertrax cross pin, pretty sure this 28 and 30 spline unit will work in a newer 8.6" as there is so much cross compatability.

With that pricing you are into the cost of a new Eaton carbon clutch posi or Eaton Truetrac. But the No SLip system you are looking at is about $150 less than a true Eaton Detroit Locker.

With the Eaton (or any other aftermarket carrier) you get more metal in the carrier. Because the Powertrax No SLip uses a stock open carrier, the rear is only as strong as a stock carrier.
AS pictured, a stock open carrier on the right, and an Eaton Truetrac on the left

BUUUTTT
the Powertrax No Slip system is the easiest to install as you dont screw with the pinion or side carrier settings.

BTW Powertrax was good about their warranteing of my broken parts. It just became cost prohobitive for me to continually pay for shipping and border charges everytime it let go.

Good luck!
