I've been looking around for a kit to rebuild the Torsion in the axle I'm buying, but I can't find anything besides an entire replacement unit for 670$. :icon_surprised:

I'm going to call the parts department at the local stealership and see if they sell a rebuild kit.

My credo
If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.
If it's worn to the point of needing rebuilt, there's probably some wear on the case as well. Once they're trashed they're basically trashed.

A new Detroit tru-trac (also a torsen diff) will sell for just under $450 (no idea on shipping).

Well that sucks.. I guess the truck stopped moving randomly. But it wasn't driven after the fact.

I will either put an open carrier in it or find a cheap limited slip and rebuild it with firm clutch packs.
If I put in the open carrier, that leaves me the option of cheap lunchbox lockers.

Torsens don't wear the same way a clutch based LSD would it shouldn't need to be rebuilt. That's the main reason you can't find a rebuild kit nothing is a wearable item.
