A little play is normal with a tru trac. The first time noticing that sucks, but they are all like that. Can you get a video of the excess play you are talking about?
I take it you installed your own gears..? Did you check the backlash and the mesh pattern? I have to disagree with the previous poster, 3 thousandths is a bit tight. Remember fluid has to get in between the gears...

Yes I did my own gears all within spec. I checked backlash and mesh patterns...they were all good. Now that I put this new yoke on something is definately wrong. Also I forgot to mention there is a clunk when I shift from park to any drive gear or when i shift from d321 to r or vice versa.
Yeah isn't it around 6-8 thousandths?
I'll try to get a video tomorrow after I pick it up from the muffler shop.
One more thing I forgot to mention...My pinion only has about 2 threads past the nut. I'm wondering if the IEDLS yoke is thicker than stock? Anybody have pics of a Inland Empire Driveline Services yoke on a 10 bolt?

the pattern matched up with suggested gear patters from Yukon gear's website I couldn't find any gear patterns for my gears (G2, 4wheelparts brand). As for the backlash, I can't remember exactly but when i set it up it was around the max. Is it possible for the backlash to change if the pinion depth is changed? THis is the only swap Iv'e done so I don't know much.

No. I am assuming that the pinion depth could've been changed due to the removal of the stock yoke and the installation of the new yoke. Would the r&r of the yoke change pinion depth if I indeed did overcrush the crush sleeve or not tighten the pinion nut enough? BTW thanks for the quick replies.
