Project "Blown HD" my 6/8 drop/shortblock/heads/cam/blower/tranny install
#302
so now the question I have is, what is the critical measurement I need to pay attention to?
is it the difference between the rear driveshaft and pinion? or is it the difference between the tranny angle and pinion angle? or all three?
at least I know my starting measurements where I experienced zero problems.....

So this is a little bit off topic but, why do some trucks get a 2pc setup and some get a single setup? Which trucks? My Dad's Dmax ECLB has a one piece MONSTER aluminum shaft.

I was thinking you altered your suspension. Dammit!
So you have roughly 5* of pinion angle I assume. Are these negative *'s or positive? How do you know?
That's subtracting your actual pinion (diff nose) and your driveshaft angle going into the differential. I thought that's how you measured it.
Anyone else on how to get a pinion angle?

and my rear driveshaft is 98deg
93deg(pinion) - 98deg(driveshaft) = -5deg
is this correct?

So, with that example, the actual way to get a proper pinion "angle" you would need to be subtracting something in relation to the actual diff nose angle.
Am I right?

If that truck was lifted, then the drive shaft angle would be quite a few more degrees. The diff's angle would still be at 3*.
