I had a 2WD Chevy which I bought without the locking differential option, then added an aftermarket posi unit. There is NO WAY I will own another pickup without some sort of limited slip differential. Certainly not a 2WD vehicle in Michigan. I get the locking rear differential option even on my four wheel drive vehicles.
I don't think I would swap out the internals from the old rear end. Assuming the LSD is original, it's pretty well shot at 186K.

This is going to set you back quite a bit of money on a 3/4 ton, but the rear end will last the remaining life of the vehicle. I highly recommend Drive Train Specialists in Warren. Give them a call, they may have a better idea. Maybe they can overhaul your old LSD (some are repairable, some are not). They will do the work or they will sell you the parts if you decide to do it yourself.
