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.

Thanks! 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 :-)
