I was lucky as my nephew borrowed a digital guage from Freightliner and helped me set it. First you need to level the chassis then check the angle of the tranny. Set the pinion 2 degree's negative or "low". The gizmo he had we placed on the tranny and got the reading then on the rear housing. I have always heard there is an "angle guage" to do it with but never seen one or know where you can get one...... I would not trust "eyeballing" it as that is what I did originally and it was to high giving me a little vibration. Just FYI hope it helps get you in the right direction. | | |
