Dana diff rebuild with Eaton Trutrac, too much backlash?

Is this normal? Dana diff rebuilt with Eaton Trutrac and 3.73 gears.

i am getting slight vibration under hard acceleration and worse vibration over 70mph.

Definitely not normal. More than it should be. And although hard to tell from a video, it seems noisier and more of a hard CLUNK too.

I agree.

Propshaft rotation is very minimal when set as specified.

I would reckon the "guy" simply threw it together without the measurements being even considered.

Diffs and Auto trans workings have always been "smoke and Mirrors" to me. Gregs write up a while back lessened that with diffs.
