Ok I looked at my axle and found the identifacation tag and it just has a bunch of numbers. How do I tell what gearing my axle has???

okcjeeper

what are the numbers? Cause a set of those numbers should tell you the gear ratio..

TrueBlueXJ

most likely 3:55s if you're an auto, or 3:07s if you're a manual, but just to be sure, post up what you found. Within the series of numbers should be a pairing like I mentioned above.

Is it the top set of numbers or the bottom set of numbers.

The reason im asking is I have an d30 from a 96 jeep cherokee 4.0l auto and im just trying to make sure its going to have the same gearing as my 92 jeep cherokee 4.0l auto.

TrueBlueXJ

It should, but I make no promises.

Towing packages, etc can offer strange gearing combinations, so you should definitely check to make sure. Post up the numbers you found on the rear, and is there a tag on the D30 as well?

Post up the numbers as they look on the tag. Probably 3.55 but you could order 4.10s special but rare.

Where can I find the numbers on the rear d35. I saw two tags on it. one said 35 the other said 0552.

BlueXJ

Are you sure the tag didn't say 355 instead of 35, because they usually don't have tags identifying the model of axle that they are.

JeepersCreepers

oops it actually says 3.5

BlueXJ

There you go it is a 3.55:1 ratio.

JeepersCreepers

Ok. Blue can you check back later. I have to go home to look at the numbers on the other axle to see what ratio that is. Thanks

Kyle

99% Chance you have 3.55's.

JeepersCreepers

Good new. The front axle is also a 3.55. I had the vin from the donor jeep and call the dealer and they said it was a 3.55.

Excellent. You have everything now to do the conversion. Just need to get wrenchin'.
