In case you didn't notice, the ratios are different because they are different axles haha. Also, when counting rotations of the pinion and tires, both tires should be spinning to get an accurate reading. If only one side is spinning (ie if you have one tire jacked up and the other planted on the ground,) the free tire spins twice as fast. That means you need to count how many rotation the pinion does in two rotations of the tire to get the estimation of the gear ratio

The difference in his example shows the mistake of having an open diff vs a Trac-Lok (posi). You can do his method with a Trac-Lok. If you have an open diff, you must keep one wheel from turning. Also, the turning and counting is not as exact as simply counting teeth. Of course, you have to take off the cover and mess with changing the oil and resealing. You should probably do that anyway, since you have never done it in that vehicle....most no body ever does it.

Yeah as long as they're both GM Dana 44s the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton use the same ring and pinion gears 👍 you will need to check the gear tooth pattern again though to account for variations in the machining of the housings

@WebWheeler

That can definitely make it harder. Also, some axles keep the pinion in position using the yoke and nut so there's a chance the gears aren't meshing properly with the yoke removed which would make them much harder to turn
@RalphSampson...

Okay but, by turning the pinion to turn the wheel you came up with a 4.10:1 ratio. Counting teeth is the exact method. Is the difference in the two methods because you have an open differential and you should have stopped one wheel from turning? Would that then have given you the correct ratio?
@WebWheeler
2 жыл бұрын
Different ratios because they're different axles haha. First one is a Dana 60 front, second is a sterling 10.5. You do have a good point about the tire though- if one tire is stopped, the one that spins free will spin twice as fast. So when counting pinion revolutions to estimate ratio with one tire stopped, you're ratio is how many times the pinion spins to make the tire do two rotations. But yes, counting the teeth is exact, counting rotations is just an estimate

Thank you for post. I was curious if you could run another size pinion gear with that 41 tooth ring gear? for example could use a 10 tooth or 12 tooth instead of the 11 tooth pinion gear that's already in there? It seems logical to me that only an 11 tooth pinion gear will work with that 41 tooth ring gear. So can u use a different pinion gear with that ring gear? I subbed & liked
@WebWheeler

Thanks for the support! Theoretically you can mesh any two gears with the correct standard tooth size as long as you get the spacing between them correct. However, in automotive applications that distance is dictated by the axle so it's not possible. Gears sets are matched for an axle based on the ring gear and pinion gear diameter, thickness of the ring gear, gear tooth size, etc. If two pinion gears are 1 tooth different (11 vs 10 teeth) they either have a different diameter or a different tooth size, both of which wouldn't let it mesh in the ring gear intended for the other pinion gear in the axle. Hope that makes sense haha. Thanks for watching!
