    Looking at the angle finder from the pass side, i have 1-1/2 to the left of 0' which is pinion down from what i can remember..I have 2-1/2 to the right of 0 on the driveshaft...So what do i have here or what setting do i need to go with on the pinion...Getting older and forgot its been soo long since i set pinio angle..

    I can tell you from experience going negative on the preload on the pinion will put the front end hanging in the air, faster than you can say oh shit this is gonna hurt, lol And costs a lot if you weren't expecting it. So study that guide good buddy. I wish I knew then what I know now... lol :thumbsup:

    If I'm reading that right, you have 4° negative pinion angle. For a lot of vehicles with stock bushings (leaf spring or trailing arm), 4° negative is about right. It will come up to near 0° while accelerating. There is a chart in that link posted above that is pretty accurate as a "general rule", but YMMV, ;):coolio:
