Funny things is ive been having this issue before a change my front end to dropmember.
When I drove to LA both times it ran with no issue then I was slowly starting to get this issue.
Could It be a ujoint or carrier bearing?
I have a small amount of play in the carrier bearing but the rear ujoint has no play

A center carrier bearing that has play will vibrate..

hmmmmm
well i guess im going to have someone take a look at it. first before a change it.

Re: pinion angle @ ride height
 

where do i place the angle reader on the tranny to get a true angle reading?

Re: pinion angle @ ride height
 

I pull the yoke off and stick it to the face of the output shaft

Same here

Re: pinion angle @ ride height
 

You can also use the starter pad or the pan rail if you want to leave the driveshaft installed.



BTW, Its not "common practice" to just dial in 2 degrees of pinion angle in case the pinion angle just happends to change.
On a street car not using leaf springs, there is no axle wrap.

Re: pinion angle @ ride height
 

i was hoping to leave the shaft in..

im confused
what is starter pad and pan rail?
i just need more detail..

Re: pinion angle @ ride height
 

Im amused at how many people believe that the pinon has no movement on a street truck! I guess bildings and bridges dont sway in the wind either. Why put extra clearance in an engine block everythings bolted tight right. So nothing should flex or contact. Its not a case of if it were going to move, the question is how much! And if you think it wont because its a street truck more power to you! anything underload will move or flex period!!

Shouldn't it look like this
Tranny 5
Shaft1. 4
Cent b. 0
Shaft2. 6
Dif. 3 0r 5

I keep reading that my differential needs to be 1 from the first shaft but level with the tranny ?

Fixed!!! Change my differential up by 3° match my first shaft 3° down
