What determines rear axle ratio?

The # of teeth on the ring gear and the pinion gear. There is always more teeth on the ring gear then the pinion gear. And the way you determine the gear ratio is devide the # of teeth that's on the pinion gear into the # of teeth that's on the ring gear and that will be the gear ratio. The 4 gears that are the same size and run together is called the spider gears. Do not count those gears they have nothing to do with the gear RATIO.

What does a rear end do in a 18 wheeler?

Same thing it does in any other vehicle. "Rear end", "rears", etc. is commonly used in reference to the rear end gear ratio. If a truck has, for example, 3.58 rear end gears, it means the driveshaft turns 3.58 times for every one turn of the rear end gear. The rear end gears are what makes the tires of the drive axle turn, thus propelling the vehicle.
