I have to replace the pinion bearing for my rear differential
The shop I go to said I should just replace the diff, or get a rebuild kit
My question is what should I do?
get a used diff from a junkyard or get a rebuild kit, and what would be a good place to get a rebuild kit?

I would go with the rebuild kit as one from a junkyard is not going to be any better than the one you have now.

Yeah get a rebuild kit as 82toyo said and then fill it up with synthetic diff fluid.

Do NOT get a diff from a junkyard. They are often left out in the weather, and that causes them to rust all over in a hurry.
