Re: Gear Ratio
First, you will have to change the ratio up front to match the ratio in back. I have heard--but not confirmed--that about 3% difference in wheel speed is about all the 4wd stuff can take.
Second, you'll have to screw with the computer to get it to accept the new ratio so that it knows what speed you're going. Otherwise, I suspect you'll have no end of trans shifting problems, drivability problems, etc.

Whem I bought my trailblazer I needed to swap in a whole new rear axle ass. because the previous one was broken. I think the one I put in is a different ratio than the front one. My 4wd locks up also on dry pavement if i go over maybe 5 mph. I also also have the speedometer problem , it is off by about 5 mph. Car drives fine otherwise. I have been looking for a rear to match the front but cant find one. Any one know where I can find one?

Re: Gear Ratio
Look inside your glovebox for the RPO codes. There are 3 options for TBs, 3.42, 3.73, 4.10. If it says GU6 you have a 3.42 ratio, GT4=3.73, or GT5=4.10 ratio. Also, if you see a G80, it previously had a locking differential. Hopefully you can figure out which rear axle your TB originally had and get a new one with the proper ratio! Good luck!

Re: Gear Ratio
Dont think so, unless you want to hassle with going to a GM dealership and asking them to run a specs sheet on your TB. It is much easier to just open the glovebox up and look at the first or second row of letters/numbers. They will be in groups. It took me only about 30 sec to find the GT4 and G80 codes on my TB.
