[QUOTE=straightsixjeep;2246831]What is your gear ratio?

d35 may need pinion bearing http://houston.craigslist.org/pts/3546244984.html

I do not know my gear ratio. I've been reading to try and figure it out. I thought since I have an upcountry, that I would have lower gears but I don't think that's always the case.

I already have a D35.

Well... say goodbye to any hope of finding a HP D30

Sorry, that one kinda confuses me. I already have a D30

 

I think I remember hearing UC had 3.73, but don't quote me on that.

 

You have a Low Pinion D30 if it's late model. Earlier models have stronger High Pinion D30s.

 

I read it earlier but someone said it's not always the case.
I need to pull the cover and count.

 

Ahhh, mine is a 96.

 

There are two tags on the cover take a pic and post it here. Any 4.0 auto xj should have 3.55s.

Wait does this have the 4 banger? (4 cyl engine)

 

No, I6

I'll snap the pic tomorrow.

 

Make sure both tags are legible, or just post exactly what each of them has written on it.

 

Oh your profile says "I4." If it was a 4cyl you would have 4.56 gear ratio with the up country.
You have 3.73 gear ratio

(if the link doesnt take you to the page directly hit "did you mean jeep cherokee," then scroll down to the axle gear ratios)
edit: its either 3.55 or 3.73. Really need to double check because wiki isnt always reliable.

 

Yeah, I'll have to scrape the paint off.

 

Cool, 3.73.

Profile details have been updated. Thanks.

Thanks for all the help tonight. Time to go read to my daughter and put her to bed.

 

That says for tow package up country's it's 3.73, not all up country's.

 

I believe it means with the tow package or up country since they are separated by a comma. Not 100% sure, thats the first number Iv found but Il keep looking.
