Does anyone know if the pinion angle on the HO52 is the same as on the 14 bolt? I didn't think to check the angle of the HO52 pinion before I removed it from the truck frame.


Thanks, Clay

I think it would be close. But why not wait till you get the transfer case mounted and the front end sitting on tires and rear springs in. Then you will be able to dial it in. But my guess is the original location will be close but you will have to shim in either direction.
