The 400-ft lbs is out of the factory service manual. I'm assuming its for a fresh install with a crush sleeve.
The fluid level isnt what killed him. The housing has channels that oil passes through to lubricate the bearing. You change the caster of the actual axle too much and it will starve the bearing. I agree with you though, it doesnt sound like that is what happened. Keep up posted.

You would think, with all the jk'ers, that have put the rear axle pinion in line(-1 or -2 degrees) with the ds, there would be alot more compliants here with burned up pinion bearings. Now, if he went higher, then could be ?
