kinda a crazy question ?
« on: November 01, 2005, 08:23:22 PM »
whats the easiest way to tell gear ratio in the front end?    might be a dumb question but, I think i gernaded my r/p on my sammy but i didnt build this thing and cant get a hold of the guy who did. I talk to a friend who knows the guy he said he thought they were 5 somethings. well the (something) part of that talk didnt help me out at all for all i know there stock gears. Maybe this will help in two wheel drive first gear real poochie off the line with 33s or is that possible even with 5 somethings? any suggestions would help thanks

jack up the rear end,get some chalk and mark the inside of both tires if doing this alone,put jack stands under it and put a mark on the drive shaft,turn both tires one revolution the same direction while counting the number of turns of the drive shaft, 5.12 turns = 5.12 gears and so on.

YA ,your counting how many times the drive shaft turns so five turns and a little bit would be 5.12 gears five and a lot of almost another turn would be like a 5.83, four turns and a little over a half a turn more would be 4.62 gears and so on.
