Well, it is together, off safety stands, and sitting in the driveway. No static leaks from the Differential after sitting for 12+ hours, so I took it for a 7 mile spin. The rear end does sound quieter and after bringing it home, it didn't leak. I parked it in the driveway with some cardboard under it just in case, but if it is dry tomorrow, I'm going to call it good.

Not a hard job, but that 12 point flange nut is a bit of a PITA. Wish they would have went with a 6 point as it would give more flat to grip, especially torquing it to 132+ ft/lbs. Another thing that would have been nice is to have had access to a lift. Safety stands will work, but a lift would have given a lot more room.
