All the joints on my drive line are good or new. It just seems like somthings not lined up right. I have never had it aligned. Just not sure what to try next? Feels like my drive line might not be balanced? Truck is lowered quite a bit in the back. I'm pretty sure my angles are not normal. What would a bad pinion angle do? Could be that. Not sure how to change it. Maybe shim the trans up or down. The joint in the middle is fixed

Sounds like it is the pinion angle. Here's some good info. Also GOOGLE it. There's lots of info out there.

I almost gave up on the door handles. They were distorting the plastic when I tightened the brackets I made to hold them in. It would push the handle out when I tightened those brackets. I modified the brackets, and they work pretty good now. But not perfect. Friday I'll make them a little better, and post more pictures. I'm such a picture taking slut. :haha:

This is what the inside of the door looks like. Not pretty, but I'll clean it up later. This is still an experiment.
