Ok first of all, we have a LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL in our cars. Not a posi, we're not Chevy's here.
Just get the T-LOC REBUILD like someone already posted in the thread. Unless you plan on going to the drag strip often (not ricer street racing) then get the 31 spline differential. You will also need the 31 spline axles to go with it. Install will be more than your typical gear install.

Heh ok bud.....heres the best way to put it. In order to have any stability in a vehicle that has to put more power to the ground than whats really needed to move it(pulling heavy things, racing, etc) you need that power to go to both wheels. Thats simple physics. In most daily driver cars...for example a honda civic...the power is only being put to one tire. You're not pulling anything and if you're intelligent you're not racing with a civic.
For example.....have you ever been to the lake and seen that one dumbass that cant seem to pull his boat out of the water and hes wondering why? Its because hes doesn't have limited slip so his power is only going to one tire and hes spinning the **** out of that on the wet slope. All of his power is going to his right or left tire, yet theres alot of weight on connected to the opposite side of his truck. In effect the left side of the boat is essentially receiving 0 pulling energy from the truck so he goes nowhere.
Instead of about 250 HP going to both tires for you, its now 250 HP going to only one tire. Its only ocassionally locking out because its worn down bad. You need to re-build your
T LOCK. Its as simple as that.
Unless your a very experienced driver and you know how to get that one tire to hook it will significantly effect your 60 FT times. Get tha **** fixed!
