    I have an angle finder and will check tomorrow

    I put truck on jack stands with tires and drums removed and ran it up to 60 mph and vibration was just as bad as going down road.

    We reclocked the rear slip yoke no change. It's a day cab so it's got a short hanger shaft and the rear slip shaft. It didn't make a change on balance machine either.

    I was referring to the front steering tires.

    I no but it vibrates just as bad sitting on jack stands in my shop with truck in 18th gear running 60mph on speedo with tires and drums removed. Not going down road just sitting in shop so that rules out all tires and drums.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Ok I got an angle finder on the drive line.
    The trans yoke is angled 3 degrees down
    The hanger shaft is angled 4 degrees down
    The rear shaft is angled 5 degrees down
    The power divider yoke is angled 5 degrees up

    Your power divider sitting 5 degree up seems like a lot. The most I've seen is 1 or 2 degrees.
    I would try to get that pinion down around 2 degrees and try that. Also lift your hanger bearing the shaft is at 2 degrees not 4

    If you post last six of VIN I can give you angles from factory. The whole goal is to get working angles within a degree of each other. Multi shaft take a different approach. You usually put 1.5 degrees in first working angle @ tranny, then cancel out the angles in second shaft. @swaan suggestions get these numbers very close to cancelling out dead on.

    After more thinking.

    Set your hanger shaft at 3 degrees down. So same as your trans yolk.
    This would involve raising the steady bearing a bit.

    Now set your input on power divider at 3 degrees up. Your 5 degrees is quite high. Aim for 2-3.

    I've found that sometimes you can't get a 1 1/2 degree working angle on trans yolk on some trucks . Reason is it can screw you on the rear angles.

    His truck is one those wierd ones where you have to have almost 0 working angle at trans to make the rest happy...
