Does having the Z51 suspension package make a difference in the type of differential you have?

You never know what you will end up on a used diff, so might want to have RPM just build you one instead.

Hence if you blew one up by wheel hop, what is going to keep you from blowing another standard one from wheel hop again?

Define "cracked"...

If it's the ears up top then it's repairable by having them welded. If it's somewhere else then you can buy a new case and have the parts transferred over.
