Default Rebuild rearend or not

I dont know what to do , either rebuild the clutch pak with one from randy's pretty cheap, but dont like the idea of putting the retainer clips back in thier just to have them brake again (which is why i need to replace clutch pak) would like a locker , but $639.99 is gonna hurt plus labor. rather spend the extra $100 on a locker and not a trutrac. will i get another 130,000 mi out of a rebuild? how are your guy's rebuilds lasting? I need to address this problem as i drive the truck time to time on broken clutch pak retainer clips and its gonna grenade itself sooner than later, been driving the gas sipper as a DD for now, trucks been sitting till i figure out what to do.

If you have the money, go for the locker. If you don't, go for the rebuild. Rebuild should last as long this time around as it did the first.

Unless you go off-road hardcore a rebuild should be just fine, ive got 170,000 miles on mine and its still holding together knock on wood lol.

How do you get .003 cents? "Excuse me, do you have change for a penny?"
