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

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.

Re: Ok Bill, Now what?
>> Ok Jerry, now then. Is a 2.72 a good thing, or a bad thing?
I'm not Jerry... but I play him on TV. 2.72 is the highest (numerically low) stock gear setup for a CJ, and won't do you any favors off-road. On the road.... 2.73 will let you do 80 in your CJ, but off-road it leaves a lot to be desired. I ran those gears in my CJ off road for one summer before deciding I needed to switch for lower (numerically higher) gears. But if you want an easy driving, low revving daily driver they aren't so bad. |

Re: Ok Bill, Now what?
Sounds to me he's describing the transfer case..."Big round riveted

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.

Now _that_ is the kind of response I was needing. I posted 'to' Bill because he told me where to look for the tag on the rear diff., when I posted about tires. I will do this turning thing Sat. However, right now I am gonna have to go look at the other stuff people said I was wrong about :-) |
