The towing capacity of a 1997 Chevy Tahoe 4 door 4 wheel drive truck with a 3.73 gear ratio is 7,000 pounds.
I WOULD SAY AS LONG AS THE GEAR RATIO IS THE SAME YOU COULD GO WITH 1996- 1999 FROM A TAHOE OR YUKON BUT IF YOU GET ONE FROM A PICK-UP TRUCK WOULD PROBABLY BE FROM 1996- 1998.
3.55 or optional 3.90
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.
95 chevy tahoe (K5 Blazer) comes stock with Gu6 "3.42 gear ratio" limited slip. It was also sold with an option for a Gu4/ G80 "3.73 gear ratio" posi-trac. In the glove box of the vehicle glued to the bottom interior surface is a list of mfg inc options for the vehicle. including the RPO codes for the drive train.
Write the VIN# down and call a Chevy dealer and ask for parts. Then ask the parts man that you would like to know the gear ratio on your year truck and that you have the VIN#. Then he will tell you what it is.
Could be 3.21, 3.55, 3.92 to 1. Those are the options for a 1996.
In the glove compartment, there'll be a sticker with a bunch of three digit codes. Those are RPO codes, and one of them tells you the gear ratio.
Trouble code P0731 means: Incorrect gear ratio, first gear
