Want this question answered?
The standard gear ratio on a 2000 Chevy Silverado extended cab 4x4 half ton truck is 3.73. This means that for 3.73 rotations of the shaft , the wheels turn one time.
The HOUSINGS are the same, But the gear ratio is probley different.
I have 89 Chevy extended cab pickup 350ci 700r trans i would like to know the rearend gear ratio and if 89 3/4 ton rear would help tow 6500# camper have replaced leafs with 3/4 springs seems original rear geared to high trans gets hot
yes you can swap rear ends from late model to early model and visa versa... as long as the gear ratios are the same. the rear ends in my 1996 full size and my 1986 full size are exactly the same except for a 3.08 ratio and a 3.42 gear ratio... No. The spring perches are in different locations between the OOBS ('73-'87) and the OBS ('88-'98) trucks.
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.
A good way to get the final drive ratio with the tires you have on the vehicle is to raise the rear tires off the ground. Put the vehicle in neutral, mark the drive shaft, then while rotating the tire one full revolution count how many revolutions the drive shaft makes. that would be the final drive ratio. drive shaft revolutions over 1 so three and one third revs of the drive shaft to one rev of the tire would be 3.33/1 or 3.33 gear ratio. note if tires are larger than stock or smaller than stock it will change the actual drive ratio. Or you could remove the differential cover and count the teeth on the ring gear and the teeth on the pinion gear then divide the ring gear number's (larger number) by the pinion teeth number (less teeth) to find out the exact gear ratio. I would think it will be somewhere between 3.08 to 4.56

Yes you can, But the 308 ring and pinion will have to be for the 1982 carrier that's in it now.
Adjust the kickdown
The 83 Chevy C10 comes with a 305 but not a 350. The 350 is an option on the 3/4 ton but not the 1/2 ton.
the 3.42:1 ratio was standard for that year if you look in the glovebox there is a white sticker with a list of codes you are looking for in the G section GU6 for 342 or GT4 for 3.73:1.. Also G80 is the code for locking differential.
largely depends on axle ratio
