No, but can tell you Exotek stuff is worth every penny. They make really nice stuff.

Check to see that the bearing journals in the housing aren't worn. Maybe it is time for new housings.

Some gears have a bit rounded profile on the tooth, and some are sharp. It's probably fine. But you need to find out what damaged that ring gear, unless you didn't replace that yet.

That gear is toast.

A normal diff won't make much noise at all. If you spin the axles in opposite directions, it should feel smooth. If it does, then it's likely your ring and pinion mesh. Pics would help.

It could be. Look at all the gears very closely and look for wear. Tip: sometimes if you take a pic of the gears, you can zoom into the pic and see wear better. Look for shiney spots to show you where there may be problems.

I wouldn't run without those shims. You risk wearing the housing by the gear spinning against it. The shims prevent that.

Not familiar with the Baja Rey diffs, but a lot of the diffs out there are very similar. Are there shims in the diffs that you install behind any of the gears? If so, maybe you need to use thinner ones. Sometimes you need to shim the large outer bevel gears to get things to mate up properly. Let...
