I've got a 1995 Jeep Cherokee XJ 2wd with a C8.25 rear end in it. Can someone tell me what the gear ratio is in that rear end it is stock.

3:55 with automatic transmission and 3:07 with a manual transmission

Depends on what engine and transmission.

I stand corrected. My above post is assuming the engine is a 4.0. If it has a 4 cylinder I could not tell you the gear ratios.

I am kinda under the impression that it might be 4.10 with the 4 cylinder.
But unsure and also don't know if that would apply to an auto, a stick, or both.

awg

jack up the rear end, mark the tyre and driveshaft, rotate them while marking off the turns on a piece of paper

that way you will be sure, in case it has been changed

be careful, if you are unsure, do it again

for a 4.10, (for instance) I would actually rotate the tyre 10 full turns

Or look at the metal tag that is held on with 2 diff cover bolts. But, only if a 4 cylinder. It may not state the actual gear ratio, but there are 2 numbers on there. Like 41:10 or something. Divide the big number by the little number and there's the ratio.

I remember that is how they used to do it on the old CJ's.
The tag had a fraction on it. Divide the bottom number into the top number and get the ratio.
You be amazed at what you can do out there with a Buick V6 in a '46 CJ2A with 5.38's. LOL.
