Re: How to identify gears when not stock?
You can mark the driveshaft and wheel and count the turns.
I would rather pull the cover and check it. When you roll the ring gear around there should be a little number and a big number stamped into the edge of the gear, divide it and thats your ratio. Or count the teeth on each and divide.
I would pull the cover to also double check torque on the bolts and make sure the contact pattern is good. Especially if you dont know who did it, what ratio you have, if its a good set or cheapo gears or anything else kind of important about it.....
I got an s-10 truck once that had a pinion seal leak, pulled it apart to find a miss matched gear set. I thought it making noise because it was ready to scatter, till I tore it down and found that. People do some stupid things...
