Default Easy Driveline Angles Measuring

FYI.
In chasing a vibration in my driveline a while back I used a couple of tools. One was a circular protractor (about $10)and the other was a short level made by Husky and sold at Home Depot. I found the short level to be easier to deal with and also useful as a level and interestingly it is also a thermometer. The readout is backlit and it cuts itself off automatically after a period of inactivity. The Husky level is $40 and may be available other places under other names for less. One thing I like about the level is there is a 1/4" wide groove running down one side of it that makes centering it on a drive shaft easy. 2 sided usable, where others I've seen are not.

Very nice. I can see where that would be handy.

Digital readout is a plus, too.

For those with smart phones, Tremec has a free app for this called Driveline Angle Finder. Just read an article in one of the magazines, can't remember which one, but it might be online.

That's what I have, it's available via the Google App Store. Just search 'Tremec'.
