How can I find out what gear ratio I have in my XJ? It's a '92.

There is (or was) a small tag on the diff that will say "3 55" or "4 10" or whatever. Other than that you can jack up one tire and count how many times the driveshaft turns per one revolution of the tire. Also you could pull the diff cover off and it will be stamped in the side of the ring gear.

Cool. While I'm under the rig I'll look for the tag. I don't remember seeing one but I have to change all the fluids so I'll look then too. At least I know were to find it now. . Thanks!

If its an AW4 auto most likely 3.55 gear is what came in most.
