Ok Bill, Now what?
I'm kinda sure I'm gonna have to take my Jeep to a professional, I just
wanted to say it before you did ;-) I looked at the rear differential, not a metal tag there. Somebody has been inside it and I can tell by the gasket 'ooze' around it. Tranny is nice and clean. Big round riveted 'thing' on it from Syracuse New York. It says gear ratio 272? No decimals near the 272 numbers. Front differential has a big tag on it, however I saw nothing to hint as a gear ratio. So now what? I don't know any Jeep professionals here in SE Ohio. Dan |

Decimal points are missing in many of the tags I read as a small part of my
job, yours is very likely a 2.72.

Re: Ok Bill, Now what?
I'm not Bill, but I 'can' tell you an easy way to check the gear ratio
if you want. You block the wheels and put it in neutral. You then jack up one wheel and make a chalk mark on it and on the driveshaft. You then spin the tire two times while counting the number of revolutions of the driveshaft. If you have 2.72's the driveshaft will almost turn 2 and 3/4 turns. Mine turned a bit more than 3 and 1/4 turns so I have 3.31 gears.
