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.

Depends on each individual truck. Look in your glovebox....there is a label from the factory with parts codes on it. The one with G refers to your gear ratio/ ring & pinion. GQ1 -- AXLE REAR, STD RATIO GT4 -- AXLE REAR, 3.73 RATIO GT5 -- AXLE REAR, 4.10 RATIO GU4 -- AXLE REAR, 3.08 RATIO GU5 -- AXLE REAR, 3.23 RATIO GU6 -- AXLE REAR, 3.42 RATIO G80 -- AXLE REAR, LIMITED SLIP (POSITRACTION)
the lower your rear axle ratio, the worse your mileage.
what is rear end axle ratio
To check the rear axle ratio on your Suburban, you need to safely jack up the vehicle to get access to the the rear axle. Then there should be a metal tag on one of the bolts on the rear axle cover indicating the axle ratio. The ratio varies with different options and load capacities, so it's not the same for all Suburban's.
Look on the sticker in your glove box:G80 Differential, automatic lockerGT4 Rear axle, 3.73 ratioGT5 Rear axle, 4.10 ratioGU6 Rear axle, 3.42 ratio
That depends on the rear axle ratio. 2500 rpm ?That depends on the rear axle ratio. 2500 rpm ?
The axle ratio on a 1969 Ford Mustang axle was 2.75:1
ratio = 3.23
The ratio is on a tag on front and rear axle between 2 of the cover bolts
These were the options in 2000: [DMC]=Axle Ratio - 3.21 [DMD]=Axle Ratio 3.55 [DMF]=Axle Ratio 4.10 [DMH]=Axle Ratio 3.92 These were the options in 2000: [DMC]=Axle Ratio - 3.21 [DMD]=Axle Ratio 3.55 [DMF]=Axle Ratio 4.10 [DMH]=Axle Ratio 3.92
