Possibly more problems than that , it has 290,000 on it right ? Could feel fortunate it's not on your truck lol. That's more of a roll of the dice...sketchy without some kind of history or thorough check. On the flip side, it may just be fine, had a recent axle/bearing swap perhaps. That's the thing, you don't know. Having that one shipped to you would be most likley a no go...too much chance there. But you don't say where it's located, gear ratio or if you have a 4WD or not. If you're 4WD and 3.55, your locked into a 3.55 period. This is why should answer these questions. If you end with the wrong one, then it's no ones fault but your own. Know what I'm saying....yet ?

I have a 4WD and 3.55. So I am locked in to 3.55.
Interesting how the 4WD and 3.55 criteria don't lock you specifically into a S828 but allows you the leeway of option to S829.

Yes, your locked into a 3.55. Prices too crazy for a 150,000 mile assembly ? Are you seeing any of those ?

Grade A at 290,000 miles ? I don't think they check them that thoroughly.

I don't know ,look around. Keep in mind, you may find one in the states with lower miles that's a good deal even with shipping. Do some serious looking around.
