driveline angle experts??
Hello all,
I am in need of some advice here. I have a 67 c10 stepside. I dropped it down 6 in the rear using 6" lowered springs, and 3 in the front, 2 dropped spindles, 1 dropped springs. A couple of years ago I swapped out the TB350 for a 700R4, had a new driveshaft made, one piece shortened 3 from the shaft for the TB350, new ujoints. The truck had an annoying high speed vibration that I wanted to resolve. So recently, I took my initial measurements and purchased 6 coil spring shims for the rear. I have the transmission shaft and the pinion where I believe they should be and work. The truck seems fine until I put into overdrive then it feels like the driveshaft is going to come thru the floor and I actually lose power in the truck. I have checked the timing to make sure its not the timing, timing is correct. I should also add it seems to run fine vibration free until put into overdrive. I am planning on changing plugs and wires next, but prior wanted to ask for any feedback. The truck did not run like this prior to these new changes. I can not move the transmission up without cutting the floor of the truck, which I really rather not do. Current measurements are: Transmission shaft 5 degrees up Pinion is 5 degrees down. Transmission slip yoke bearing cup is 5 degrees up Pinion yoke bearing cap is 5 degrees down Driveshaft bearing cup: 2 degrees up in the front 2 degrees down in the rear. Driveshaft angle is 1 degree up I believed this to be an Operating angle of 3 degrees The transmission and pinion are at the same angle, but are opposite. I can have the shaft and joints checked, but the weights are still on the driveshaft and there is no play when I grab the DS and try to move. Am I missing something here, are our trucks different? Any advice or suggestions sure be appreciated. Thank you. |
