Temp gauge and shackle ????

[0103SVT]

Those of you that have the autometer temp gauge, what does your temp get too? Just wondering because hasn't gone above 165* with normal driving.


Second: I installed the 2" shackles the other day and everything is fine meaning no vibration or anything but my pinion angle is at 0 now. it was at +2 1/2 before the shackles. I'm just wondering is that fine to be at 0 and if I race or anything with the ET Streets on there, what are the chances of breaking my driveshaft? I don't know how much the pinion angle changes when you launch on et streets.

having a "0" pinion angle is not good because your drive shaft may start to vibrate in time. I know this because my buddys f-150 is vibrating pretty bad and he took it in and they told him the reason he's going through u joints and it vibin is his drive shaft angle is "0". You can change your angle by shimming the rear axle (between the axle and the leaf springs)
