Slamming Jim!

 

holy *****...that is "rockers scraping the ground"
you better give it some height when you come to spring fling...remember my road...

 

Thats what the air bag suspension is for. Speaking of which, are you converting the York compressor over to air or buying a kit? I'd love to see how you do that install.

 

and she follows none of these rules... ever... unless shes too busy with doctor silver fox... haha

trucks looking sweet man, ill be down monday most likely

 

i gotta do ANOTHER alt on the whip monday WTF
but wed is def a go

PS everyone please rep John he has been a huge help to me during this build

 

another one? wtf?
go to the junkyard for one at this point. and dont forget to cut the rear seat in half haha

and thanks man, its been very enjoyably working on the truck

 

Done Jim, John you the man!

 

Also Repped him!

 

hey thanks everybody who repped me, its much appreciated

 

Reps sent!! John's gotta be a good guy:
1- working on a PSD
2- willing to help LOWER a Ford PSD truck
3- willing to help Jim! (We all know he needs all the help he can get! LOL!)

Keep up the good work guys! Definitely enjoying the pics.

 

Adam u ready to sell me those wheels yet

 

hahahahaha

 

Jim,
Here is the info you requested. Couldn't attach it to the PM.

Driveline Angle

Driveline angularity is the angular relationship between the engine crankshaft, the driveshaft, and the rear axle pinion. Factors determining driveline angularity include ride height, rear spring, and engine mounts.

Driveline Angle


Item Description
1 Bottom of the frame (0° reference)
2 Engine crankshaft centerline
3 Engine angle (to frame reference)
4 Driveshaft centerline
5 Driveshaft angle (to frame reference)
6 Rear axle pinion centerline
7 Axle pinion angle (to frame reference)


Calculate the driveline operating angles as follows.

Preliminary setup procedures.
Inspect the U-joints for correct operation.
Park the vehicle on a level surface such as a drive-on hoist, or back onto a front end alignment rack.
Verify the curb position ride height is within specifications with the vehicle unloaded, and all of the tires inflated to their normal operating pressures.
Rotate the transmission output yoke until vertical. This will simplify taking measurements.
Calibrate the special tool by placing tool on clean, flat level section of the frame rail and press the ALT-ZERO button.
Using the special tool, measure the slope of the components. Record the measurements and the direction of the component's slope.

Example for Calculating U-Joint Operating Angles

Attachment 30471
Item Description
1 Output yoke slope
2 Driveshaft slope
3 The driveshaft slope minus the output yoke slope equals the transmission/driveshaft operating angle
4 Pinion flange slope
5 The driveshaft slope minus the pinion flange slope equals the driveshaft/axle operating angle


Calculate the difference in the slope of the components to determine the U-joint operating angle.
When two connected components slope in the same direction, subtract the smaller number from the largest to find the U-joint operating angle. When two connected components slope in the opposite direction, add the measurements to find the U-joint operating angle.
The U-joint operating angle is the angle formed by two yokes connected by a cross and bearing kit. Ideally, the operating angles on each end of the driveshaft must:
be equal or within one degree of each other.
have a three degree maximum operating angle.
have at least one-half of one degree continuous operating angle.

Steffy is cool. Chris are you coming to the dirty jersey Christmas? Btw better you than me with all the math there, Jim.

 

I had to rep Roland just because...lol
