It hardly takes any abuse on those bearings to trash them! ](*,) probably need to tear it down and renew ALL bearings and seals #-o
Yep on all that.
You could have over tightened the pinion nut and that will burn up the pinion bearing and cause your howling noise.
If you replaced the posi with another GM posi the carrier shimming will be pretty darn close ...What was your backlash reading?
Driving with out fluid was the big mistake on ALL the bearings...It would not have taken too long to torture all the bearings in the rear enough to have cause one or 2 to go south and give you noise issues.
THe crush sleeve is a one time use item so that was also the issue for the pinion bearing preload probably being off / too tight.
I guess that is why 300.00 to setup a rear ain't so bad when it is done right.
