Enter Corrective Mode.
Attempt to correct the drive line angles with the least amount of changes.
Correcting by adjusting the prop shafts is less labor intensive than changing seats and plates.
If the seats and plates need to be changed to make the correction, you must use the chart below and calculate
the difference in pinion angle from the measured pinion angle.
◦ Example:
◦ 8 was measured on truck. Truck had 3548298C1 Seats installed.
◦ Truck is unloaded, 7.58 on the chart. Changing to a 3548299C1 Seat shows 9.53 unloaded.
◦ That would give you 1.95 of pinion angle change (9.53 minus 7.58).
◦ The 8 measured plus 1.95 increase is 9.95 and brings the driveline into specification.
◦ You must also check that when the vehicle is loaded, the angles will stay within specification. (Refer to
Figure 9).

0 working angles are not acceptable. Eaton DAA will not catch this error.

• Verify the angles remain in specification when loaded. (If Required)
◦ Example Continued:
◦ Front Drive Axle Seats installed: 3548297C1. Pinion angle will increase 0.75 when loaded. (4.45 minus 3.70)
◦ Rear Drive Axle Seats now installed: 3548299C1. Pinion angle will increase 0.75 when loaded (10.28 minus
9.53)
◦ Increase both pinion angles in corrective mode to see the reaction.
◦ In this example the drive line is within specification when loaded.
◦ Every seat is 0.75 difference between loaded and unloaded.

Using Allison Calc
•
•
•
•

Allison Calc will only check one single axle at a time.
For 6x4, 4x4, 6x6 or Drop Box applications you will need to run multiple analysis.
Refer to the information below which uses the 6x4 from Figure 9 as the example.
If a drive line needs to be adjusted it is easier to run the adjustments in Eaton DAA, then check using Allison Calc before making any
changes to the vehicle.

• Open Allison Calc
• Select Multiple‐Joint Driveline Analysis

Figure 11 ‐ Transmission and Axle Information

• As this checks to a single axle at a time, the axle vertical slope in this example is the
Forward Drive Axle.
• Enter all required information.
• Use 0 for Horizontal Slope.
• There are 2 prop shafts between the transmission and forward drive axle in Figure
9. This gives you 3 joints.
• Transmission Output RPM is calculated using IK2600160 ‐ Vehicle Speed Calculator
the same way it is calculated for Eaton Driveline Angle Analyzer.

• Enter Prop Shaft angles and lengths.
• Joint Offset is 0.
• Shaft Phasing should match the phasing on the truck.

• Results of the First Section of the driveline analysis.
• This example is for a 6x4 and the process have to be completed twice.

Still using the drive line example from Figure 9.
The Forward Drive Axle to Rear Drive axle must be checked.
There is only 1 prop shaft. This gives you 2 joints.
The slope of the Forward Drive Axle is entered in the Transmission Vertical Slope box.
The slope of the Rear Drive Axle is entered in the Axle Vertical Slope box.
