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.
3.8
3.8
i believe it would be 3.11
What is the gear ratio on a 1996 2wd suburban 1500?
Is a rear end in a 88 4x4 Chevy truck the same as the front in gears of a 93 Chevy 4x4
They used a few of them. Open the cover, count the teeth on the big gear ( the ring gear ) next count the teeth on the small gear ( the pinion gear). Divide the big gear by the little gear and that is your ratio.
it will be the same as the rear diff
if you have messed up the stiring wheel
Count the # of teeth on the ring gear. Now count the # of teeth on the pinion gear. Now divide the small # into the big # and that will be your gear ratio.
2.833 is the rear-end gear ratio
All you need to do is call a Chevy dealer and give them the VIN# and asked them what the gear ratio is in your truck and they will tell you what the factory gear ratio is.
a 10 bolt differential case has a 8.5 ring gear .a 14bolt has 2 different covers one is a 9.5 the other is a 10.5
