as far as your first question we would need to know where you are feeling this play and how you are duplicating it.

second did you take the battery and alternator off to have them checked if so then i would say that you have a poor connection or faulty battery cables bad ground etc.

dont know if this helps but maybe it will get people thinking

#1 - probably not an issue. Did you only try this once, as in not moving the truck slightly and checking both the front and rear again? The diffs will always have a small amount of play if you try to turn the driveshafts while the truck is sitting still. The ring and pinions, if properly setup, should have a small amount of backlash between them (meaning the pinion can turn a very slight amount before meshing with the ring gear).

#2 - I would also check the wiring for loose connections or a bad ground, especially before spending any money.....a part may only be $16.99 but if you don't need it that is the same as throwing $16.99 out the window while you drive down the freeway.
