I don't recall where in the thread, but there is information and a few images of what to take apart where to get to the diffs. Also, there are a few diff building guides on here, definitely worth a look, especially ones using black grease of similar to help seal the diffs.
When you do examine the diffs, make sure they have the correct shimming that AE went to, 0.5mm under the sun gear, NO shim when this i there between the diff cup and the diff case.
If you do not have that, call AE right away and get them to send you some before running the truck. They ship very fast for this issue.
Also, can you tell us if your diffs came with the new non-brass inserts the cups go into?
