True north or metallic north? And what degree of magnetic deviation based on "region setting"?

Inquiring minds need to know

 

According to the owner's manual, the mirror's region setting is to correct the deviation between true north and magnetic north: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/compass-in-rear-view-mirror-incorrect.737271/#post-26246051

 

I don't disagree, however based on your geographic regional setting there is a differential magnetic deviviation toward true magnetic North. Buddy Arc Welder in YYC will have a different magnetic deviation than us in the 6ix

 

For those that wanna participate

Yes, Buddy Arc Welder in YYC would be in region 4, I'm in region 11, and you're in region 10.

 

Does anyone have a spare OEM CV axle lying around? Could you measure the end to end length? The ones I received are about 27" long. I'm trying to determine if they are built correctly or mistakenly made to LT lengths.

 

Mine looks 26"

 

Thanks. I see there's at least an inch of extension travel remaining in the inner joint. I was a bit concerned seeing the 25.4-25.5 shown online, as @pete37 had posted.

 

Compressed 26” if you pull a joint 27” on mine

That’s right, you don’t know

Can confirm, all true

 

How do I play “ I am offended, skip to 1,000,000 dollar lawsuit card” here again?

 

Hey Fellas, I'm sure this question has been asked and answered a million times but I am struggling to find a reassuring and confidence boosting answer.
I am located in southern Ontario and am looking for a shop I can take my truck to. I did UCAs, Fox shocks front and rear, and leafs on my own but have been having some issues with the Taco lean and have pulled out too much hair trying to figure it out on my own. I am very particular with my truck, as I'm sure most of us are, so I am really looking for a shop I can trust and that won't bend me over with a crazy bill.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

 

taco lean is a simple 1/4" spacer on the driver side. put your hair back in

 

1/4 spacer on the driver coil over or cranck it 1/4 higher if it's adjustable shocks. For the rear add a leaf on driver side. That's all it takes to solve taco lean.

 

i think your taco lean can be fixed by bobbing the bed, going to 40s and doing front SAS w/ locker

 

I have considered that but i have my shocks cranked up pretty high as is and I am not a fan of using spacers(I will probably resort to those anyhow). Aside from the taco lean just a trustworthy shop where the guys are actually interested in our trucks would be great info

 

you did all the work so far seems like you can put the spacer in too... if you want.
