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,

I went through the drivetrain myself and found nothing visibly wrong with any of the u-joints, bearings or slip yokes. I thought I would try removing one drive shaft at a time, go on a test drive and see if the vibration went away. I removed the front drive shaft and sure enough the vibration went away so I put a new CV and U joint in and it runs smooth as silk, so much for a $2000 rearend. 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.
