OK - Pulled everything apart, and despite knowing where to look I still don't see anything. Here is the ring gear in the area of the bind: The only strange thing I see is the wear on the inside edge of the teeth. Is that normal? Here is the pinion: Again, no vision damage. You can see...

Thanks Mike. I did just that: I actually marked the ring gear opposite the pinion gear where it was binding - if you look closely at this photo you can see the punch mark. And the bind was in the exact same place. And without the shafts it was actually much more pronounced, and much...

So fooling with this thing out of the rig, rotating the pinion I can definitely feel a subtle rough / binding area at the exact same spot on the ring gear with each rotation. The ring gear must have been tweaked after all.

Thanks for the input. There is definitely a lot of history behind getting to this point. The Yukon gearset is definitely going bye-bye.

Well, the easy part is done: Now for the fun…

Yes, we're good.

Parts of Nashville got nailed.
