If lowrange is where you got the gears, you probably have Trail Gear 6.5's.

The Trail Gear 6.5's seem to be a loud gear set.  I added some Lucas to mine and it quieted them down.

I used the heavy duty oil stabilizer.  Before you go to add this stuff to your rig, I would suggest warming the hell out of the oil.  The stuff is so thick, its hard to get out of the bottle.  Especially  if your laying under your rig trying to squeeze it into your tranny or T-case.

So far i haven't found a pump that will handle Lucas.

Did you rebuild your T-case when you installed the gears? Or are they they stock bearings?
That's no good to see that they took a dump like that.  Did you talk to trail gear yet?
