i tried to figure the gear ratio on the 4x4 to see if they are 4.56 i know its been said they have 4.10

so i did the test where you mark the tire and driveshaft and spin the tire 360 degree and see how many turns it moves driveshaft but it only moved it 2 and 1/4 turns which would mean 2.25 i know that isnt right

I am assuming that you have a stock rearend (this is a "open" type verses a "posi" or "locking" differential) and you jacked only one side up when you rotated the tire. Because it is an open differential you must fully rotate the tire twice to get the estimated gear ratio. Since you measured only 2.25 drive shaft turns with one tire revolution I would say you are closer to a 4.56 ratio than a 4.10.

o ok cool so the haynes manual is right 4.56 sweet i was just stumped on that

thanks for the help Kane
