Yesterday (Monday 12/17) - to check on progress - my 'Indy shop' called the transmission shop who stated "Diff repair parts were not expected in until today = Tuesday Dec-18th!"

I'm guessing the transmission shop had the parts shipped via ground.. or the parts are coming from the Antarctic. Anyway, perhaps the moral of the story is (at least so far) IF you are going to get your Differential pinion bearing or carrier bearings or even seals repaired then have all of the parts 'on hand' in advance. Frustratingly slow progress.
Craigslist a spare diff and sell on after you get yours sorted? they're painless to change.
