I would get a second opinion My 90 has 700K miles on it. only rebuilt 1 time.
my father inlaw had his d350 serviced in Florida came back to CA,after 2 months and asked me to service it when I pulled the diff cover there was barely enough oil to cover the pan. he told me that the dealer in FL, had just did it ! that rear end is still going 10 years later,

The front U joint had no play while installed on the truck but when I removed it and took the caps off the U joint was on its way out.

yup seen that a lot just did a 03 and 05 for the same reason had both f&R shafts rebalanced at a drive line shop Dodge likes to send bad stuff off the line!

Good to hear you got it figured out. May be more pain, but less funds spent and greater confidence for the next time!
