Topic: pinion angle? help needed

[toyodaaddict]

so my transmissions making nasty noise and im fairly certain its a pinion angle issue. the rear shaft HAS a CV. can anyone make sense of these #'s and help.   pinion flange 14.5*  drive shaft 19.5*  t-case flange 3*

3 degrees of diff between trans/tcase and drive shaft angle isnt bad at all.  Esp if ur running a cv. 
If you believe its the drive shaft then I would look into the cv itself.  They really can be a touchy to higher rpms.  I run one in my rear and it vibs some but its not causing my trans to make noise.  It will more then likely make the tcase noisy if anything.  Like the output bearing.

my driveline was just built by high angle so i assume its good. i just got off the phone with jess at high angle and he agrees the pinion angle isnt the problem. so now what?  can running a dual case at speed hurt it ? i mistakenly ran the truck up to 35-40mph with the reduction box in low and t-case in 2 high

With a CV your pinion should be pointed directly at the output flange.  No angle in the u-joint, all the angle should be in the CV.  Make sense ?



Hope it helps.
