there is zero backlash between the pinion and the ring. this is good
No, this is not good, there should be a small, usually about 0.004 or 0.006, backlash but check the specs. Some slop in the differential gears is normal. A 1/4 turn at the pinion seems like a bit much but I'll let others with more recent first-hand experience comment.

My bad, by zero, I meant it was within tolerance. It is within the .006. I am thinking I will need to correct the preload on the Diff gears

Stopped on the rear end, till I get some feedback. I think I am on the right track but been wrong before.

Odd, I have a Dana 53 yet I have a four cross spider with the two ouputs, not like that in the book or any of the Dana 53 manuals I have found. The Carrier, (Locker) is defiantly from a Dana 60. Anyway look at how the spiders slop on the cross, this cant be right.

It looks to be the twin traction. Check out this threadhttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=146976#forumpost146976 and the Stude manual listed in post 3 to compare with yours.
Also check out this thread for a slightly different version of the twin tractionhttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=144960#forumpost144960

Yep, there is my Answer. I have a nice addition of a Posi Track rear end. According to the book, the excess slop is normal and the noise is natural. I also learned that the Locker must be replaced as an entire unit when they do go bad, as they were made to be non-serviceable.
