Now I'm going to double check, but I don't believe the pinion had any endplay and I'm pretty dang sure those races are fully seated.
As far as drag on the gears when pattern checking, I applied resistance to the yoke while turning the ring gear.

Yeah it's sad that nearly all the foundry's in the United States are closed and moved over seas. I called Yukon and they indicated that all their gear sets are made in other countries. They also said that they undergo testing and lapping as well as packaging here in the US. Richmond, Yukon, Motive, USA Standard are all foreign made. US Gear is one of, if not the last USA made gear set.
