Some is good, a little more is better. More is better. If you have trouble hooking the driveshaft it, it mite be too much. Dont be bashfull!

Its at .06 now. Was going to install 2 degree wedges to start but maybe I should install the 4 degrees and see if it likes it to start. Anybody play with a pyrometer readings at the U joints?, checking temps with Pinion angle changes to determine best angle. Thinking is, closer the angle is under a load, the less heat is being generated by the U joint as it rotates.

Just a couple or three degrees in Boulder City works great.
