Keith,
I run a Jeep quite a bit, and have had to set pinion angles and tranny
positions after alterations to it. I have found that about seven degrees is
a pretty good angle to shoot at for the angle between pinion and driveshaft
and between tranny output and driveshaft. Keeping the angles the same at
both ends....or pretty close is indeed important for universal joints. They
accelerate and decelerate the same that way, eliminating that as a source of
vibration. The exact angle isn't really too critical unless you get big
lifts that force angles over 14 degrees or so.

Subject: [oletrucks] need a measurement on a TF
I need someone with a TF, preferably a half ton, to measure the distance
from the axle to the frame or the axle to the bumpstop. I don't have enough
weight over the rear wheels to know where the rear will sit yet, and I am
working on setting up the drivetrain.
Have a happy new year, and hopefully this list will still work tomorrow.
