Default 3.73's clicking?

I just installed a track-lock and 3.73 gears in my '05 v6 (both ford racing) and I just noticed that I get a sound when the car is decelerating under the power of the gears. There is a "clicking" sound... I'm suspecting that it is play in the gears which will wear in? (hopefully?[>:])

I wouldnt say it is the gears that are making the noise.
If the gears are too tight they would whine more than click.
Go back and check all your bolts, especially at the yolk of the driveshaft.

I actually didn't install it myself, I had a shop do it which is closed and doesn't open up before I am leaving on a long road trip . I know a little about cars and kinda learn as I go along. Is there anywhere that I could go to on the net to find a diagram of exactly what bolts I'd be looking for? Also would the clicking mean that the bolts would be too loose or too tight?

Thnx. for your help
