It's just a thing. That's the factory gearing. You would determine if anyone had swapped the axles/gearset

If you want to run larger tires well, you need deeper gears.

Count the teeth on the ring and pinion then divide the big number by the little number.

Started cleaning up the front axle for the JCR truss, got one of the LCA mounts cut off, and welded up/grinded the grooves the brake pads wore in the knuckles over the years.


Photos and more info in my build thread.

Put new TPS on cleaned the IAC and entire throttle body and it still stalls under load. Makes me think it could be the fuel pressure regulator.

i think i did this once.
jack up and block one wheel. carefully count revolutions of driveshaft till free wheel goes exactly once around.
ex; three turns of drive = 3:1
