kyleag89 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I was wondering.. Did the MJs and Xjs come with the same gearing whether it was 2wd or 4wd? Say a normal 4.0 AW4 4x4 has 3.55 gearing would that be the same as a 4.0 AW4 2wd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Gearing is the same for 2WD and 4WD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Except the gearing on the front axle is different on two and four-wheel drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleag89 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 I would assume the gearing is different seeing as how there isn't any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Except the gearing on the front axle is different on two and four-wheel drives. If you are referring to the "difference" between 3.54 and 3.55, or 4.10 and 4.11, that's not considered a different ratio. That's just the end result of differentials with different size ring gears. Dunno what you mean by the reference to two-wheel drives. Obviously, they don't have a front differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's being a smart @$$, by saying the front axle and rear axle on a 2wd have different gearing. The 3.54 and 3.55ness is pretty much negligible on our vehicles. The D35, D30, 8.25, and even 8.8, from what I've found, have identical tooth counts for each ratio. I believe the D44 shares most of them, with 4.09 being the exception.
