You CAN NOT RUN IT WITH THE DRIVE NOT BOLTED ON.

shift into fwd, remove the drive, inspect U joints to make sure you installed the keepers
make sure gimbal bearing was installed and FULLY SEATED using the correct tool .If you did not hammer on the tolerance ring to install it you destroyed the bearing.
pics of the tools used would be helpful.
