Well when on Decell it would howl like crazy. replace all new bearning and all. I reused the stock Pinion shim and carrier shim. well have i done something wrong here. any ideas what it is. 
You're not supposed to reuse the crush collar, it's a
disposable piece and you crush a new one to get the
setup fitted to the new pinion. Then you shim the
chunk for contact pattern. If you take it apart again
you might consider a hard pinion spacer & shim kit,
that is reusable and won't get beaten down with age
and abuse.

(but stock GM gears) when I went to the T-2R since that
was a total pull-apart deal anyway.
