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.
To find the axle ratio of a Ford Excursion using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), you can decode the VIN through various online VIN decoding tools or databases. The axle ratio is often included in the specifications provided by these services. Additionally, you can also check the build sheet, which can typically be obtained from a Ford dealership or the Ford Owner website, as it includes detailed information about the vehicle's specifications, including the axle ratio.
Your local dealer will have to use the VIN to get the sales codes for the vehicle. They should be able to tell the ratio from that.
On a late model vehicle the dealer can run the VIN number through their computer system and get the axle ratio from the build sheet.
To find the axle ratio on a 1963 Chevy C10, you can use a simple method involving the driveshaft. With the vehicle safely lifted and supported, rotate the driveshaft one full turn and count how many times the rear wheels turn. The axle ratio is the number of driveshaft rotations divided by the number of wheel rotations. Alternatively, you can check the vehicle's build sheet, or look for a code on the axle housing itself, which may indicate the gear ratio.
That is done through the dealers computer system. There isn't one specific digit in the vin for the 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.
No, it does not
The axle ratio of the Explorer Code D1 typically refers to the gear ratio of the vehicle's axle, which affects performance and fuel efficiency. However, the specific axle ratio can vary based on the vehicle's configuration and model year. For accurate information, you would need to refer to the vehicle's specifications or the manufacturer's documentation. If you have a particular model year in mind, I can help look up more detailed information.
The best axle ratio for towing typically ranges from 3.42 to 4.10, depending on the vehicle and the weight being towed. A lower ratio, like 3.42, provides better fuel efficiency for lighter loads, while a higher ratio, such as 4.10, offers increased torque for heavier towing. It's important to match the axle ratio to the specific towing requirements and the vehicle's engine capabilities to optimize performance and safety. Always consult the vehicle's manufacturer guidelines for the best recommendations.

Any other axle ratio will give a slower maximum speed.
An axle ratio is a comparison of the number of ring gear teeth to the number of pinion gear teeth in a differential. For instance, a 3.55 gear ratio means that there are 3.55 ring gear teeth to every 1 pinion tooth.
