Rear End Hummmm

[Hezsus]

So i replaced my rearend yesterday with one out of another truck, I was told it had a lock right in it but i'm pretty sure its factory.. it looks like it was rebuilt anyways (hand etched numbers on the ring gear) anyways It hums pretty bad. i know a little bit isnt anything to worry about but I took off the cover to see and after and it was pretty grey already and the ring gear had some bad looking wear marks, up on the outside edge and they formed a little bur on each gear.

I'm wondering if its ok to keep driving and the gears will wear a pattern and be ok or if I need new gears already. and I have no idea how to adjust the gears..

its a 10 bolt rearend.

Lets see a pic of the gears.
sounds like you got ripped, bought a worn out rear diff

You get some books and study up, anyone with half a brain can replace gears and Do it Right !

I'll get a pic after work.. dono why i didnt before
The gears looked in good shape before i installed them.. they had been sitting without oil in the case for a few months outside and there was minor surface rust on one part of the ring gear, but no burs, and now i have burs after not even an hour of driving.
Is it possible that the yolk(?) could have gotten bumped good and the pinion gear is off now? It did get kicked around on the shop floor for 6 months before i installed it.

So I'm going to put my old rearend back in, Since i have it.. just need to put brake lines back on it since they got in the way when i cut the bolts. Then i'll Study up, buy some tools, and rebuild my own rearend, either a mech locker or and elocker.. cause i love the idea of an e locker.. OR should i try and find a 14 bolt to work with?

I found this and i think i may jump on it.http://kitchener.kijiji.ca/c-cars-v...n-14-bolt-4x4-posi-rearend-W0QQAdIdZ306376381

Update: Guy says the rearend is in good shape (like that means anything) and has posi with clutch plates and everything not a locker. so i'm really leaning twards this since there was no original posi on these so it must have been overhauled (at one point in its life)
