Re: Got some work done

you need to measure it before you do anything.


with the truck level the engine and trans should be at 3 degrees leaning back. dont measure from where the carb mounts because that is angled up approx 3 degrees to offset this.

and the rear end should point up 3 degrees at ride height.

Re: Got some work done

stance is looking really good. Looking fwd to a build thread showing progress. cajungragger is on track. Simply put, get your engine / trans installed, then with truck at ride height (very important), measure & match your pinion angle to your trans out put shaft angle. (example: if trans out put shaft angle is 2 degrees down, then make your pinion angle 2 degrees up) this will insure no drive line vibrations due to U-joint harmonics
