Is it possible to replace rear diff clutches?
My 07 with 220k on the clock started locking up the left rear wheel a few weeks ago. I finally got it to a shop to get it checked out and after getting into it the mechanic says the clutches are causing the issue. He is now actively looking to see if the clutch portion of the rear diff can be replaced, if not I'm looking at close $2000 for a complete replacement.
I've never heard of simply replacing components internal to the carrier but I guess that's possible?
I'm also kicking around just converting to Posi rear with something like the Yukon gear set up or maybe an Eaton.
Anybody that can shed light on any of this would be helping me out a bunch.

Anything can be re-built on our rides (almost). But, if you go with a Auto/Posi differential, I'd highly recommend you replace the Ring and Pinion too. Getting a lasting adjustment on your existing would be XXdifficult. So, a rebuild of your existing assembly would be my recommendation.
