Sorry to hear that. Did they distinguish if the diff noise was from the LSD unit itself or from damaged bearings?

Will have to go with a new diff. Still thinking if I should go with OEM new, build one with different gear ratio or try to fix one I have.
the clutches are likely toast. find a junk differential and swap it out. don't bother trying to salvage this one unless you know how, and you're doing it for fun.
