They could be. Depends on how they were built.

Can you use a different gear ratio on your 2003 silveradoit has a 373 gear4 wheel drive and disk brakesdont have to have 4 wheel drive want to know What is compatiable due to your rearend went out?
to use 4 wheel drive,both front and rear ends must have same gear ratio. if you dont want to use 4 wheel drive,u can change rear ratio,but remove front drive shaft so as not to accidently engage 4 wheel drive and trash your transmission
What is the front gear ratio on a 1989 Chevy Silverado 4 wheel drive 5.7 liter 1500?
it will be the same as the rear diff
Can a 2 wheel drive and a 4 wheel drive pitman arm shaft to gear box seal be the same?
It could, if they have the same gear box.
Will a rear end from a 1995 dodge 2500 4x4 fit in a 1996 dodge 2500 2 wheel drive with no gear ratio problem?
It could have the same ratio or it could not.
How does the gear drive differ from the chain drive in regard to direction of rotation of the wheels?
With a chain drive the driven wheel will always rotate in the same direction as the drive wheel, but in a gear drive the direction of rotation will change between drive wheel and driven wheel.
Are the front and rear end gears the same ratio?
Sometimes, but most of the times first gear is stronger than rear. A 4 wheel drive vehicle must have the same gear ratio in the front and rear differentials including the rim and tire size on all four corners.
Why do gears have a gear ratio?
When one gear is used to drive another, the number of teeth on each gear will factor into the ratio. Even if the number is the same it will have a 1 to 1 ratio. In a rear axle, for example, a common ratio is 41 teeth on the ring gear (driven gear) and 11 teeth on the pinion gear (drive gear). 41/11 is 3.727272 or commonly called a 3.73 to 1 ratio. It take 3.73 turns of the drive gear to get one turn of the driven gear. If you are interested, the different ratios provide different combinations of speed and power. Thus a large gear pulling a smaller one gives speed while a smaller gear pulling a larger one gives power.
4x4 s10 front differential interchange between 1996 and 2000?
As long as they are the same gear ratio they interchange also All wheel drive astro vans front diff will work
Is the gear ratio in a 1995 dodge 2500 ram 4x4 the same as the gear ratio in a1996 dodge 2500 ram 2 wheel drive?
There are four ways to find a ratio. 1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number. 2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement info. 3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires. 4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.
What is a parallel gear?
same as drive gear
Will your car increase the top speed if you modify your gear or add a bigger gear without changing the engine?
Yes, if you change the gears in the differential that drive the axles and wheels. The lower the gear ratio, the faster the car will go with the same engine RPM. Example: A car with a 3.55 to 1 ratio differential will go faster than one with a 4.1 to 1 ratio differential at the same engine RPM.
What will happen if you take the rear end to a Chevrolet 1500 z71 and put the rear end to a Chevrolet 2500 in the place?
Nothing really. But remember that the front and rear ring and pinion MUST be the same gear ratio. You didn't say if the Z71 was a 4-wheel drive. If it is not then you will either kill the engine power are may even increase the power.That depends on the gear ratio in the 3/4 TON rear end and the 1/2 ton rear end. / DIFFERENCE Low gear verses high gear. Low gear= Power. High Gear = No power.
