Most unfortunately, the differential comes complete from the factory, so all the tech does it screw it in and fill it up with oil. Ugh. BUT, they have to replace the exhaust manifolds too, so they want me to get some headers, and they'll do the install for free.

From your post I don't think you understood it was a joke... I guess it is pretty hard to understand when it is in text.
I just threw the dealer thing in there because that was pretty darn cool of them, I guess it would have been more entertaining face to face rather than screen to screen.
Having a brand new diff would be a good time to put new gears in for them 35"s.

Imdone, shutting up now....
No worries! I wish I could get new gears in there... Looks like I'm getting headers though! They need to replace the exhaust manifolds, so I'm just having them install headers.

Good excuse to get a set of headers. Make sure You re-torque them after you drive it.
The best way to do it is to put them on and torqe down, which they will do (and hopefully correctly from inside out). Then start the truck and warm it up, then torque them again. The drive it and turn off and retorque. This will ensure a good seat, remember you are not trying to tighten more than what they are already you are just making sure nothing loosened up.
Good luck with everything. I saw you are looking at the JBAs in another forum. I don't know if the JBAs are ceramic coated or not, If you can get the coating, they hold more heat in and produce more power. I saw you are on a budget so I won't even bring up the S&S set.
Re: I no longer love my tundra (front differential)
Big Green,
Did you notice any noises before it blew? Im having problems with my front end growling/howling/rumbling one dealer is telling me the front diff needs to be replaced but a service bulletin straight from Toyota is saying carrier assembly, front axles. The awesome dealer I bought it from is looking into it further for me.
