Blue88Comanche Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I am looking to upgrade from my Dana 35 to a 44 and was wondering what the best way to find the gear ratio in my Dana 35 and my future 44.. assuming stock is there a spot on the axle that would say what it would be? I will post my Engine RPM Tire size and speed when I get home.
mvusse Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Take the cover off, and with one wheel off the ground turn the driveshaft until the stampings in the edge of the ring gear are visible. Two of the numbers are the number of teeth on the ring gear and on the pinion gear. Divide one by the other for the ratio.
Jeepman Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 What he said... But if you can not tell which numbers are the teeth count then just count the teeth on the ring gear and then the same on the pinion gear and devide them...
Boots Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 You could check the tag (if it has one) but it's safer to count the teeth like described above.
