Thanks for all the help!

You should have tried just adding friction modifier. My C10 did the same thing. The friction modifier at the parts house is worthless. I only use Ford friction modifier in all the rear ends. It's clutch chatter. The Ford friction modifier fixed mine. (I run it all my cars with posi rear axles...)
