The best way is to count the teeth on the ring gear and divide by the number of teeth on the pinion gear. Or you can count the number of turns of the pinion it takes to get one full turn of the ring gear. For example, if we divide a ring gear with 41 teeth by a pinion gear with 10 teeth we find that the gear ratio is 4.10:1 (41/10 = 4.10).

What gears are in a 91 cheyenne rear end?

You might need to be more specific. But it is a differential which has 4 gears I believe. If your talking about gear ratio. I'm not really sure on your particular vehicle but you could always take off the cover and count the teeth on the gears.

What do differential gear ratios measure?

Differential gears don't measure anything. When you talk about "gear ratio", you are talking about the gears (ring and pinion), in the rear end. A 4.11 gear ratio for example, allow the engine to turn 4.11 times for every one revolution of the vehicle rear end. Other ratios could be 3.07, 3.50, 3.70 and etc.Differential gears on the other hand, are the gears in the differential case (located next to the ring gear), that allow a truck or car to turn a corner. They are a set of 4 gears that allow the axles to rotate independently in the rear end when turning. They also allow the axle to pull equally on the straight road.In common language, the term "Differential" is usually used in reference to the "Rear End", which is actually incorrect. IE "I have a 4.11 differential ratio in my truck".The proper statement would be "I have a 4.11 rear end ratio in my truck".

Will your car increase the top speed if you modify your gear or add a bigger gear without changing the engine?

Yes, if you change the gears in the differential that drive the axles and wheels. The lower the gear ratio, the faster the car will go with the same engine RPM. Example: A car with a 3.55 to 1 ratio differential will go faster than one with a 4.1 to 1 ratio differential at the same engine RPM.


What rpm should a 2000 Pontiac grand prix run at 70 mph?

Depends on the gear ratio of the final drive(differential gears). Typically about 2100 to 2400RPM


What determines rear axle ratio?

The # of teeth on the ring gear and the pinion gear. There is always more teeth on the ring gear then the pinion gear. And the way you determine the gear ratio is devide the # of teeth that's on the pinion gear into the # of teeth that's on the ring gear and that will be the gear ratio. The 4 gears that are the same size and run together is called the spider gears. Do not count those gears they have nothing to do with the gear RATIO.


How do you tell what gear ratio is in a 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer?

There should be a metal tag on the differential. I should be bolted to the cover plate. You can disconnect the rear drive shaft from the differential and raise on wheel. Mark the starting point and turn the differential input and count the number of revolutions to tire turns and this will give you a close ratio. this is not exact but it is ballpark.

Can i change Differential ratio in Mitsubishi L300 diesel van?

Yes, you can change the differential ratio in a Mitsubishi L300 diesel van, but it involves significant modifications. This process typically requires replacing the entire differential assembly or changing the ring and pinion gears within the differential. It's essential to ensure compatibility with your vehicle's transmission and axle specifications. Consulting with a professional mechanic is recommended to ensure proper installation and to avoid potential issues.
