You probably need to change the yoke..........the 2.47 might have the larger yoke. It takes a specific socket to to that.

Good time to do the diff mount if it's been on there since the beginning of time...........
Good time to do both fuel supply and return hoses if they've been on there since the beginning of time. Good time to do any exhaust work...........since you'll probably take it down to make your life easier.

Diff mounts is a must, Fuel lines are fine, Exhaust will be straight pipe soon...
Will the 380SE driveshaft fit into the 300SD...

does someone have a link to the correct method for replacing the yoke? I meaured the torque to remove the nut and re-applied the new yoke with the nut at the same torque. So far it is fine but I would like to be sure it is correct, it was a very low torque which I think means there is a lot of room for error

^^^ Actually what needs to be done is measure the rotation of the pinion/flange as originally install in the differential casing with an inch pound torque wrench. Take note of it first, then remove the old flange. Install the new flange and tighten down the new nut until you get to that original rotational inch pound torque. Tightening down the nut to the original torque of that nut is not the correct way of doing it.
Here is a video of a guy setting the pinion bearing on a Ford rear end. About 2 minutes is where he describes setting the pinion to the prescribed inch pound torque. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8APYO2sZyJU&feature=related

Yes there is a crush sleeve that he was setting on that Ford diff. Which is why recommended forwarding to 2 minutes into the video to the actual adjustment. You are probably close and should be fine. I wish somebody has an exact spec to this, instead using this method of checking first and guessing if the setting is original. I couldn't find the spec anywhere.
