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.
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.
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
These were the options in 2000: [DMC]=Axle Ratio - 3.21 [DMD]=Axle Ratio 3.55 [DMF]=Axle Ratio 4.10 [DMH]=Axle Ratio 3.92 These were the options in 2000: [DMC]=Axle Ratio - 3.21 [DMD]=Axle Ratio 3.55 [DMF]=Axle Ratio 4.10 [DMH]=Axle Ratio 3.92
There are four ways to find a ratio. 1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number. ( they have to run it through their computer system ) 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. <<>> On a more general note the axle ratio is set by the need to have the vehicle travelling at its maximum speed (on the level with no wind) when the engine is producing maximum power. 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.
The rear axle gear ratio in the 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD can vary based on the specific configuration and options chosen. Common ratios for this model include 3.73 and 4.10. To determine the exact ratio for a specific vehicle, it's best to check the vehicle's build sheet or the rear axle tag.
In order to determine what axle and axle gears you have there will be a metal tag that is stamped with the gear ratio on the cover bolts and Dana has a number raised on the right bottom side where the axle tube enters the pumpkin. Between the two it will tell you what axle and ratio you have. If you have a limited slip then you axle ratio would read 3L55 instead of 3 55
what is rear end axle ratio
depends on the options chosen at purchase, call g.m with axle number
