Yes it has to be the same, Unless it's a MUD DRAG RACING truck.
If they are not the same ratio. Then when the truck was on payment and the tires could not SLIP It would BREAK something in the drive-train because they would be pulling against each other at different speeds. BANG SOMETHING BREAKS.
Two different Gear Ratio= Two different speeds.
front and rear differentials that is if it is a 4x4
If the front is 3.55, then the rear needs to be 3.55
most definitely
the front should be wahever the back is. count them on the ring gear then count the pinoin and devide that and it will give you the gear 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.
You'd have to look at the RPO code in the glove compartment to determine this, as there were a couple different options. The gear ratio for the front and rear axle will match.
Yes, (in 4x4 applications the gear ratio/s match the front axle). 2 wd there is no front ratio to match.
Same as the rear.
2.833 is the rear-end gear ratio
3:48
No
The rear end gear ratio on a 1980 Oldsmobile is 3.73, in the overdrive gear. The low gear ratio is 1.43.
