4:1
That is a 4:10 gear ratio. Just divide the number of teeth on ring gear into the number of teeth on the pinion gear and then round it off and that will be the gear ratio.
3.4166:1
Count the ring gear teeth and the pinion gear teeth and divide the ring gear # into the pinion gear # and that will be the gear ratio. Are you can write the VIN# down and call a Chevy dealer and ask for parts. Then tell the parts man that you have the VIN# and you would like to know the gear ratio in your truck. He'll tell you.
. "The ratio of the number of teeth on the ring gear and the starter drive pinion gear is usually between 15:1 and 20:1. This means the starter motor is rotating 15 to 20 times faster than the engine. Normal cranking speed for the engine is about 200 rpm. If the starter drive had a ratio of 18:1, the starter would be rotating at a speed of 3,600 rpm. If the engine started and was accelerated to 2,000 rpm, the starter speed would increase to 36,000 rpm. This would destroy the starter motor if it was not disengaged from the engine."
An object rotating at a high speed or a heavier object rotating at a slower speed would produce the most centrifugal force. The centrifugal force depends on the mass of the object and the square of the rotational speed.
No, the gear ratio is determined by the number of teeth in the ring gear and pinion gear. To be changed, that would require a physical alteration, which a speed sensor cannot do.
depends most chevys came stock with 2.89:1 ratio in the dif. however the easiest way to find out exactely what our vehicle has is to remove the dif cover plate and count the teeth on the ring gear, write that down, count the teeth on the pinion gear write that down and then divid the ring gear by the pinion gear. it is called "driven divided by drive" an example if your ring gear had 37 teeth and your pinion gear had 9 teeth, it would be 37/9 which is 4.11, so you would have a 4.11:1 gear ratio in your dif.
No. The pinion seal would be at the differential input.
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
I suppose you could, but it would stop whatever the rack and pinion was powering from working.
In a car.
An object with a larger mass and rotating at a faster speed will produce the most centrifugal force. The force increases with both the mass of the object and the square of its velocity.
