Mine is pretty close to zero now that I added that A-arm spacer. So I need to get that dialed in.
Before I added the A-arm spacer my pinion and angles were perfect for a single ujoint shaft, pinion parallel with the TC output. I don't want to buy a rear DC shaft. I also don't really want to space the trailing arms any more than they are. The 35's already scrub the inside wheel well where the arch meets the rear floorpan. So, I may look at adjusting/flipping/modifying the A-arm spacer. I'm hoping somehow I can bring the top of the diff towards the front of the truck which will get the pinion back parallel with the TC output.

Took off the Speedo Transducer today and tested on the hand drill.
Found it to be MIA. It just died on my weekend trip to the Ezulwini Vally in Swaziland.
Don't know if this is normal after 277 + K's on the clock?
Then tackled the reverse light switch and with awkward bending of my wrist got it out from the side of the R 380 gearbox.
Removed the thick aluminium seal washer and replaced it with thinner copper seal.
It worked !!! The reverse lights are engaged without holding the gear lever back.

Hi Savanna

Thank you.
Please tell me how to get to the tech area
(Can use a spanner and grow bananas but High tech still much to learn)
If it can be fixed it is a $199-00 save.
In my currency, SA Rands = R2000-00.

Kind regards
Hercu

Did you get that at Sears? That's a good deal.
