Next time you want to smell tire smoke try brake torquing that diff. "Brake torquing" increases the diff posi clutch pre-load and helps to make both tires spin . . .
Where can I find the proper part number for the clutch plate assembly? I've searched online, I feel like I cannot find the same answer twice. Any suggestions from you experts? I really appreciate the help guys!

The clutches ARE most likely available for that differential, however . . .

It's NOT a real easy job to replace them, I'd recommend replacing the entire posi diff.
