You can pin that sleeve from underneath and maybe go 300.

Lol...Actually I would like your input on the diff issue...but its getting a fluid change, investigation this weekend then I'll post outcomes.
I may pin it. Not really stressing the money it will cost to fix it right, but I just want to see how far I can take it. Everywhere I drive is tow truck accessible when that day comes.

I'm afraid that my input in the diff issue is limited to "that's a huge amount of slop. Mine doesn't do that." However, I thought the gear noise sounded like the transfer case rather than the diff. I'm going to watch the videos again and see if I can come up with something more helpful.
FWIW an engine guy told me you can pin sleeves with a dab of JB Weld at the bottom lip, but I think that assumed it wasn't already moving.

I've checked mine a few times and never saw any metal... Just dark dirty stuff that was probably metal... No shards like that. My Titan was stuck in 4wd on a trip once and I just had no choice. When I got home I had rear wheel drive only and the magnet looked about like that. My axle splines were ground down. You may have something like that going on. Unknown.

If that amount of shaving happened in 20k miles, I say it's nothing to worry about, it's normal for D2's to wear out front diff gears because in normal driving rear diff is doing most of pushing & front diff is just passive,,,
When I bought my 04,(assuming previous owner had changed both diff oils at same time, but I don't think he ever did,!!) when I drained both diff fluid at same time to replace them, rear diff oil was almost like new with no shavings , but front one "MY GOD",,, looked like crap,!! & it had so much shavings on magnet (that maget looked like a baby porcupine , I would say at least 40 grams worth of shavings) & a few small chunks of metal,, I really thought I have to replace front diff,,,, I filled it with with 5w30 motor oil for more viscosity & cleaning , then turned front tires while on jack stand's for few min & flushed it & repeated it one more time, till I got rid of all shaving's & crap,, filled it with synthetic gear oil, 12k later still running & hasn't given me any problems yet,! But I am keeping close eye on it & will be replacing front diff oil twice as often as rear one,,

Another update, went out for lunch, otw back i noticed the u joint chirp noise. So thats coming out tonight till I can get another one in.
Btw, its a Tom Woods shaft in there now. I called and they recommended a rebuild because it would cost less. The shaft has been in the truck for about 90k so they mentioned it could be the centering ball, and I can remember if I've been greasing that part every time or not.
