Slick 60's

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO TELL WHAT GEAR RATIO YOUR REAR END IS?

If you have the driveshaft disconnected, you can just jack up the rear axle and measure the number of revolutions of the wheel per full revolution of the rear axle yoke. 3 3/4 = 3.73, 3 1/2 = 3.5, 3 1/4 = 3.25, and so on.

There's also info on the driver's door warranty tag pertaining to rear axle ratio. Should be the last set of numbers on the second line (after AXLE). You can decode it here: http://home.earthlink.net/~threynolds2/ ... s6166.html

WELL MY PUMPKIN CAME OUT OF A LINCOLN CONTINENTAL AND MY AXLE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY TRUCK

If the differential is sitting on the floor, draw a mark on the ring gear, and a mark on the yoke. Rotate the yoke and count how many turns it takes for the ring gear to turn once.

divide teeth on ring by teeth on pinion.

OK I WILL TRY IT TONIGHT AND REPORT BACK LOL

THANKS

Joey, you KNOW we were gonna make you do some math at some point in time !

Ring gear should have the ratio stamped into the outer edge
