From the sounds & location of gear slipping you described, are you sure that you

this would make the front and rear axles drive in opposite directions, causing
the gears to slip at the location you described.  Pick up the truck and spin one
axle (both tires).  Does the other axle drive in the same direction?  With as
many times as the directions flip assemblies around in 8466, this is an easy
mistake to make.

Once you get it figured out, we want to see pictures please!

Good Luck,

John
