Super loud diff

It's kind of hard to tell anything from the video.
Your test will leave the axle stubs (if na8) rattling around and could explain the sound. Also the sounds that the diff will make unloaded don't say a whole lot about its state of affairs.
How does it sound driving around under load?
I picked up a diff and used it for 5k miles and it always had a ton of gear whine.
I eventually pulled it out and found that the backlash was 0.040 instead of 0.004. After setting it up correctly the whine has been substantially reduced.
