The 2003 Chevrolet S-10 typically came with several rear axle gear ratios, including 3.08, 3.42, and 3.73. The specific gear ratio could vary depending on the engine and drivetrain configuration. For example, models equipped with a V6 engine often had a 3.42 ratio, while those with a four-cylinder engine might have a 3.08 ratio. Always check the vehicle's specifications for confirmation of the exact ratio.
