These folks might be well-intentioned, but they don't know full size Chevy trucks. Trucks did not get limited slip diffs. They got the Eaton gov-lock. It is a hybrid locker/limited slip setup, but more locker than limited slip. There are various iterations, but they do not operate UNTIL one wheel starts to slip more than the other, which IIRC is around 100RPM. So going around a corner, you won't notice it, as the RPM differential isn't enough to lock the axles together. Additionally, over 25MPH, it will UNLOCK again, so you won't feel it above that MPH either. I have had multiple of these diffs. They are not good for anything other than mild traction issues (like snowy hill climbs, light mud/soft dirt hills, boat launch ramps, etc) because with their lock/unlock parameters, they are not consistent like a true locker. BUT, on a mostly street/light duty rig, they are far more effective than a true limited slip (the heavy weight of the truck will cause them to slip when you need traction, unlike the lighter cars that used limited slip) and since they aren't always locked up or having to slip, you will almost never feel it. Especially in the 1/2 tons however, they are a relatively weak unit, sounds like you might have already found that out from the first one. The shock loading from when they lock eventually can lead to the unit locking up at best (so you get tire scrubbing/hopping going around corners), or splitting the carrier in half which is the normal failure mode. Only options if the problem is the carrier itself, is to go with the 9.5 diff from a heavy 1500 or a light 2500, install an open diff, or get a posi unit for an open diff. I really like them, nothing else out there that is in the same league, but the 1/2 ton carrier problem is real. Even the 9.5 assembly uses small parts for the mechanism, but that extra 1 of size seems to make all the difference in the world to them lasting.
You asked this awhile ago. Be more specific we have no clue what your really asking here.
