Re: Driveline angle question.

If your truck is lowered the trans yoke could possibly be lower than the differential yoke...but the theory is the same..set your pinion angle pointing 3deg up...set your engine/trans angle 3deg down
You want the imaginary centerline of the diff and the engine to be parallel to each other...
Doesn't matter which is on top
And 3deg is just a number to go by...it could be 4 or 5 or even 2 deg....but both need the same angle ...just the diff up and engine down...
What you dont want is the trans yoke pointing straight at the diff yoke....the angle is needed to make the needles in the u-joints rotate
