Sweet thanks. I've been thinking about the best way to get the center line.

Just for kicks. What about the trans side?

Yes I know I can't judge three degrees with my eyeballs haha.

Well you have to measure it at the trans side of the drive shaft also correct? Because your pinion angle is the relationship between the trans out put shaft and the pinion gear on the axle.

Changed out both door seal gaskets with new Mopar gaskets. My pass side was leaking a little soaking the carpet.

LMC truck has them, as well as a few other places.

Do you hear wind noise thru your doors at highway speeds? If so, try bending the window frames in just a bit before you spring for new seals.

Speaking of window frames, I sure do miss wing windows, oh well.

HB, Yes your pinion angle is set by the transmission angle. You want the two of them to match. When and if you ever go to a CV joint driveline then you set the pinion angle to match the driveline angle -1 degree.
