Okay Since I Can't Find The Numbers On The Rear Axle To Get The Correct Size For The Rear End Geras/pinions, How Can I Find It Other Way Besides Scrapping Off My Axle And Try To Get What The Number Says On There? Its To Difficult To Read It..anyone Know?

put your rear part of a car on jacks, put the tranny in neutral, and have some1 spin your rear tire slowly one full time around while some1 else watches to see how many times the yoke turns... its not exact but if it is less that 3, then it is prolly a 2.73, just more than 3, 3.27, just less than 3 and a half, then it may be 3.42. more than 3.5 then its a 3.73, more than 4 then its a 4.10. you get the picture...

thats a pretty intuitive way of doing it, i like that. i remember reading somewhere that you can take the cover off and read the ratio, its stamped on the carrier. i havent tried this but maybe that will help you. at the very least start counting teeth...

center console, there is a white sticker with a bunch of three digit codes, look for the one that is GU#, the number will tell you what your gear ratio you have in the back. or at least what it originally came with.

oh and i forgot to mention, the number isnt your actual code, i dont have the breakdown with me right now. but it goes something like a GU3 is a 3.08 ratio and such. when you find the code, post it on this thread, and im sure we can find someone who has the info.
