Yes everything was tight and seemed to be in correct working order. No jiggling back in forth while installed but it was slightly loose on the driveshaft end in that I could turn the joint while installed easier then a new joint but nothing that bad.

Only about 0.5" from the seal on the yoke.
Here is the cleaned joints (I should have done this originally my bad.)
T-case joint. This one had no unusual color or makes on any of the end so I didn't take any pictures of them.
Axle joint. Not terribly easy to see but the top and left ends of the joint have a slightly darker color that doesn't cover the entire end but most of it. I'm assuming the discoloration is due to heat
Here is one of the ends. This end has some marking as well as another end. Both of them with the marks were also the ones with the discoloration.
Here is the end exactly opposite of the one in the picture above. This one has the worse of the markings the end opposite of this one (in the picture above has some smaller markings)
The joint on the T-case end looks to be in good condition from what I can see no discoloration or marks on the ends or in the middle of the joint. The joint of the axle end has two ends with markings along the side (both ends are next to each other). It also has two ends on the top with markings (opposite of each other).
