All right, it's done!

Yesterday i cleaned the new to me 3rd, about 240k on it. Plugged everything back it. Filled with gear oil, ran it for 5 mins with the truck on jackstand, drained gear oil. Refill again, test drove. Felt good. No more clunk or excessive backlash play felt while letting gas pedal off.

Hope this one will last another while...

Thanks everyone.

My original drain plug already has a magnet built in. Just too bad it doesn't sit directly at the bottom of the housing though... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
