The used one might be worn internally too. There are also bearings on the output shaft area of the rear ends that can cause a bunch of slop. Other thoughts other than the used one being worn is the correct rear end (gear ratio) for the vehicle and the gear lash inside being checked for proper tooth alignment. Sorry you went through all that. Hopefully your back on the road soon. Good Luck!
