no but the farther they get from straight the shorter their life span...at 0* a taken care of u joint should last pretty much forever

thats not even possible unless you lowered your truck some incredibly stupid amount that put the pinon directly in line with the t-case output...and that would probably require some major frame/body/suspension modification haha

they do actually...well they dont push it up, the gears carry the oil up, providing it is thick enough...a good 80-90 should carry pretty nicely...not only that but when the ring gear especially get spinning fast enough it tends to throw oil every where...the main problem with a large amounf of rotation on a diff is the fill/drain plugs are no longer accurate and it might take more or less oil to fill it

 

^^^
Im going to be nice.

 

I used a 90* elbow to raise the oil level in this old Dana 60 I used to have under my truck before I switched to the 70-U.

 

I also put a front Dana 60 oil slinger in it when I was changing gears. There was enough room in the shim pack to get it in. It holds the oil up in the pinion bearing if you have to tip in a lot.

 

^^ now were talking.

Ive got slingers on my front and rear pinion and neither of them are at an extreme angle.

 

Some guys think if they run a 1410 ujoint they're invincible and will run at any angle( had this debate many times not naming names) Haha not the case. Though it will run at a higher degree but in a truck like mine with a 21 degree shaft angle is that gonna last uhhhhh yeah NO! But with my cv and 1350 joints 10.5 degrees on each joint in the cv I think that's a little better.. But I'm just guessing right...

 

whats your problem? i wasnt trying to single you out or call you out or anything i didnt even realize all those quotes were you until i posted haha...

dont be nice...say what you think you need to...im a brutally honest person if i got something to say i say it, so...lets hear it
