Hello Everyone. I just found this site through NAGCA. Pardon if this topic has been discused but I did not notice it.
What are the maximum pinion angles allowed for dana 30's, 44's and a 14 bolt? On my CAD program I need a maximum pinion angle of 19 deg. at full droop. Also how much can you over-fill and should you add tranny fluid? I specifically am using a GM standard 44 front and 14 bolt rear. Also for my wifes cherokee a dana 30, and aluminum 44 rear, how far can you rotate?
I am leaning to just overfilling but thought I would check the vast experience, tried and true(or failed). The shop that will be turning the knuckles is only used to turning <7 degrees. They have drilled and tapped for a zerk fitting to lube the pinion bearing one one job, honestly that makes me nervous.
Anyway my vehicle info: 97 Grand. In the shop only to emerge with, don't laugh or hate, air adjustable 15" stroke, 12" dialed in lift with 6" compression and 9" extension. Running 40x17x16.5 Ground hawgs on widened to 12", hummer beadlocks. 46" baja claws for showing off. 44 front (large bearing design) 14 bolt rear, disc brake conversion (keeping ABS). Rancho 9000 in cab adjusted. Subframe, long arm system with, five link front, triangulated four link rear. All designed on cad to keep caster within 1 degree, squatting and jacking minimized. All to give my wife a daily driver and be a billboard for my work. I will be taking over her cherokee.
