DavidTX Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 The easiest way is to put a mark on a tooth on both the ring and pinion. Magic marker or dab of grease and count the number of teeth. Do it twice to ensure the number of teeth is correct on both. Then divide the number of teeth on the pinion by the number of teeth on the ring gear. You will know then what your rear-end ratio is. My 12 bolt was 2.73 and I changed to 3 series 3.55 gears with Eaton L/S. Eaton was $350 on ebay new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I am probably wrong but I thought the 9:37 was the teeth count which would be 4.11 or the 2-72 would be 2.73's I would say count the teeth Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 9:37 is the tooth count, it's a 4.11 to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
