breaking down the vin
I'm looking at a rear axle (Chrysler 8.25) but I wanna check the gearing before I buy it. I got the Vin but can figure out the gear ratio. I have 3.55 in my Dana 35 right now. If it's geared lower I might just buy both axles. Here is the Vin any help would be great.

There's a tag on the axles. What does it say?

Pull the cover. Rotate the ring gear till you see numbers like 11:43 for example. Divide 43 by 11 and that's the gear ratio. 43/11 = 3.90.

You can run the vin# through Chry (very fast) if a newer model XJ and if stock that will tell you the gear ratio. If its a 4.0 with an AW4 trans most likely its a 3.55 gear is what the majority were shipped with.
