After about ten mintutes of driving it will start to make a friction visual failurs with the spiders and the ring, He said the jeep did just get new brakes all around and maybe they need adjusted in the back or something. Any ideas?

Rear End Problems?

8.8 is under newer ford explorers.
Determining gear ratio is a little trickier if there's no tag on the axle.
the flange adapts the u-joint you have on the end of your rear driveshaft to the pinion mount on the rear axle.
this may help:

Well I got the jeep home today and test drove it around the block carefully to see whats up. It is noisy sounds more from the transfercase area or transmission area then rear. It does not make any noise at all while I am truning I was doinf circles and it was smooth and no noise??? Tomorrow I will jack it up and have someone put it in gear to see if I can pinpoint where its coming from.

Well I jacked it up today. The pinion has more play then it seems like its supposed too. The brakes are good nothing hanging up there. The drive shaft u-joints seem ok no play. It seems like I was hearing something in the passenger side axle tube like a bearing or something. I could spin the axles freely with my hand nothing sounded like when I drive it. I am still stumped, I will tear it down tomorrow probably.

Unless I am mistaken, on a YJ the rear D35 is a non-C-clip rear axle like 90 & older XJs had. The axle shafts "bolt onto" the rear axle through a bearing inside the drums. I have had that bearing fail before & the shaft/tire go flying down the road past me - NOT FUN.
But, if you've got a lot of play in the pinion then you probably have more problems than that. A little bit of rotational play is fine, but in-out movement is bad. Pull the cover & check for metal shavings, etc, then look around for where your play is at.
Check your tcase fluid level, drain & refill. Also drain & refill the tranny's gear oil. Check your u-joints with a screwdriver & if there's any play at all in them, then they're bad.
