But it could be......I guess.......

 

ya i believe its from a exploder
3 and a half turns of the driveline on 1 tire rotation i beleive is what i got last night
i really dont want to regear the front but if i have to i have to it will just be a longer wait the funds are kinda low right now lol

 

That is 3.55 sir. Do both shafts rotate forward when you spin the pinion?

 

yea bolth spin the same way
and my buddy looked up my vin# at the jeep dealer he works at and it says that the front gears are 307 so im gonna have to regear dammit lol o well gotta do it

 

he told me he would give me a fron axle out of an automatic with 373's would that work with the 355's if that is what it is?

 

No, the gears need to match.

 

Ive got three 3.55 fronts, but I think ur far away.....

 

It musta been a rusty 308...... that had to be a v8 explorer to have 3.08 gears. Just look for a 4x4 6cyl explorer at the junk yard. It should have 4.10 gears, if ur gonna swap, mys well go 4.10 at least. What size tires you gonna be running? I have 33's and like the 4.10's with the 4.0, but some guys go 4.56.

 

ya i never heard of 308 gears but he said its problaly because its a 5 speed and if the 8.8 is 355 then i know i need to match it up and thats a hell of a difference....he has a automatic zj with 373 gears that he said he would give to me i think it would be cheaper to find a axle to match but not sure this is the first time i have ever delt with axle swaps and trying to figure out gearing and tire size about 33 or 35 its not a daily driver i am just turning it into my wheeler

 

Brandon, if three and a half turns of the yoke got you one full tire rotation, that means that axle has 3.55 gears PERIOD. Now, three and three quarters turns means you have 3.73. It is important that you know for sure what the gear ratio is as they must match front to rear. so, if you need to do the rotation check again to be sure, do it.

Now, as far as your Jeeps front axle goes. if you have the 4.0 inline six cylinder you either have 3.55 gears if your jeep is a factory auto tranny model or you have 3.07 gears if your Jeep is a factory 5-speed model again PERIOD. the only way your gears would be anything else is if you have the 2.5 four cylinder motor, in which case you would have 4.10 gears. You can do the rotation check on your Jeeps front axle to be sure about that, too.

 

Noodles jeep is a five speed and he had 3.07's in his.

 

Alright I shoulda payed more visual attention on the 8.8 inside on the gears it has 373 stamped 3 times with all the other factory stamps do I started pulling the front axle to put the axle out of a grand 4.0 auto 373 gears I'm done for the night and hopefully get er all the way out tommorow

 

Even though somebody told you that D30 out of a Grand has 3.73 gears I'd still do the rotation check just so I knew for my own peace of mind that my gears matched front to rear.

 

Yep, and his Jeep is a 92. My Jeep is a 91 and came with an auto tranny and I originally had 3.55's. Brandon, the guy who started this thread, has a 96. The specs I wrote apply to the Chrysler type XJs. 1991-2001. Some older Renix type XJs could be had with 3.73's if that had certain trailering or offroad packages.

 

I had 3.54 gears
