I changed the height of my f250 and started to suffer from vibration problems, now watching this video I understand where the problem is. The cardan is practically aligned with the differential. Thanks for the explanation
Another AWESOME video Josh. I use one of them digital angle gauges at work. The dodge is coming together nicely, Thanks for the video share. Have a great rest of the week
Thanks for the tutorial on the pinion angle...I'm getting ready to do that on my '73 Chevy Vega. It has a small block with an S-10 rear end and parallel 4-link. I really think it's clever how you made the wedges!
Great video. I put in a tee and installed idiot light sensors as well. But i hooked my oil and temp light sensors up to a relay to turn on a buzzer it oil drops or temp goes up. I did this on my backhoe and loved it so i did it on my truck. Sometimes you forget to look at the gages.
Very good content! I can't seem to find a video with anyone zero out the angle finder. Can you explain where to zero out the finder before tacking measurements. Thanks,
@@QuickSpeedShop I'm sorry I didn't explain myself correctly. When I turn the angle finder on is it already at zero or do I need to zero it out on the vehicle somewhere.
It's at 0 horizontally or vertically, depending on how you hold it. If you want to establish a different angle as 0 for comparison sake, that's what the 0 function is for. In terms of pinion you want the yokes to be equal, opposite and parallel. So if the transmission is angled down 3 degrees you want the pinion angled up 3 degrees.
If I measure the same spots as you, it’s that simple? I have a 2001 AWD Chevy Astro. I will measure the transfer case and pinion flange as you indicated! You made this look too, easy! Thanks...My measurements are: 2.9 degrees angling up at the pinion, 5.5 degrees angling down at the driveshaft and 3.5 degrees angling down at the transfer case output shaft. Plugging those numbers into the Spicer website, my Operating angle(1) is 2 and my Operating angle(2) is 8.4. What is your suggestion? Thanks!

Another tool working to get the beast of a Dodge on the road.. Thanks for the demo.
One step closer 👍
Great Video, Thanks for showings the problems in bringing an old truck back to life, and for sharing the solutions..
It was too good of a truck to junk even though I had to replace almost everything

I got by for a long time with an anolog dial. Not anymore!

That's sounds like a cool ride!

👍🏻Didn’t mean to sneak up on you Lol. Looking more like a truck! Thanks for the pointers
Don't scare me like that!

There's a button right on it to zero it out.

Does this have a 2 piece driveshaft? If so then my method doesn't apply.
@@QuickSpeedShop No, one piece for the rear and a "propeller" shaft coming off the front of the transfer case to the front diff.Thanks
You don't want them zeroed, you want .5-1 degree.
From the factory there not set up perfectly. If your within 1-2 degrees you'll be fine
That's what I figured.
