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 the gear ratio on a 1996 2wd suburban 1500?
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.
If you call a GM dealer and give them the VIN# they will tell you the gear ratio if you ask them. PARTS DEPARTMENT
3.55 or optional 3.90
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
The gear ratio of a train, also known as its speed ratio, is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the velocity of the output gear. The gear ratio is very important when it comes to physics.
Incorrect gear ratio in first gear.Incorrect gear ratio in first gear.
Trouble code P0731 means: A/T Additional Gear Ratio Error In First Gear
I ASSUME axle code " 86 " is the same as it is on the ( 1996 ) Ford Ranger ( 3.73 gear ratio , conventional / non - limited slip )
It might. Depending on width and bolt patterns. But the gear ratio maybe wrong. Consult a locak mechanic about checking into your gear ratios
