It's off for sure. I grabbed some tools from work to measure it the GM way, but my measurements last night on my sloped driveway were 3 degrees at the t-case (down), 18 degrees on the shaft (down) and 11 degrees (down) at the rear axle. It's going to need adjustment at both ends to be able to pull it all together.

All I know is I got lucky. Dodged a bullet. Had that joint let go at highway speed the shaft would have beat up everything under the truck into oblivion.

Larry and I talked tonight and hatched a plan to get it back into shape.
Fear not, it will be fixed. It's just money anyway!
