Derek up North Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Check the driver's door jamb. http://www.brian894x4.com/Gearratiosanddiffs.html Was probably originally a 4.10:1 (G294), though a few seem to have been ordered with 4.30:1 (G284) ratios. You most certainly do NOT want a 3.90:1. If you do a search for '4.56' and '4.88' you'll find lots of discussion about other ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiter Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Is there any way to tell what the ratio is just by looking at the rear end. i.e. Someone buys a rear end out of the junk yard, Are there any numbetrs stamped on the rear end or on the ring and pinion gears inside??

Derek up North Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm no expert but I haven't read anything about any stampings on the axle housing to indicate the ratio. But I have seen mentioned a 'color coding'. But I'm not sure where they put the paint dabs! Ratio Color 4.10 Pink 4.11 Orange 4.30 Blue 4.37 Green 4.56 Yellow 4.88 White Source:- http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348293 "the color is a great GUIDLINE but gearman and I have come across some gears that don't match the chart......so it pays to count teath and double check" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
