As this is not a stock trans for a 52 suburban, do i fill the diferential separately now or do the trans and dif still share oil?

They are checked & filled separatly. Often the seal in the rear of the tran is bad & the grease can run from the trans back to the rear end. If thats the case you will need to drain the excess out of the rear & refill the trans.
