Well I figured out my diff
After receiving my new internal for my gear diff I compared the new gears to the old and wow the old gears teeth were worn down bad, no chips but only 1/2 as tall of teeth guess the previous owner ran some tooth paste for a long time or ran the dif dry for a wile . Replaced the necessary parts and bam works great. I did however reshiming it as described on page 472 and now its butter smooth.. also got my spec r dif in as well and man that thing was easy to build and it was butter as well. Anxious to see how they reform up front with thick oil

Are you positive that the gears are seating properly on the outdrive? If the case won't seat/seal properly, it will allow it to flex and strip the gears out. I would also believe that without the cases properly seated, it would cause undo stress on the larger diff bearings since the diff is now wider than expected.
