How to tell ratio??
Anybody...on a '94 Grand Cherokee, 5.2 liter, 4X4, how do you tell what
the ratio is for differential replacement? I have a Hollenders book but the
numbers I found on the front differential cover bear no resemblence to those
in the Hollander book. thanks!

Re: How to tell ratio??
Usually there are two numbers on the tag... number of ring gear and pinion
teeth. Divide the big number by the little one. Example:
43 / 14 = 3.07

Jack up one back tire and then tape a peice of string to your rear
driveshaft. rotate the tire once, and then see how many times the string
has wrapped around the driveshaft. Not precise but you could modify this
method to be more accurate.
