Hi leotard.
An original 5.0 litre TH400 One-Tonner was fitted with a 3.36 from the factory.
You could jack the car up & count wheel turns vs tailshaft turns. Just make sure that the 2 wheels turn together if its not an LSD.

hi doc to test the ratio is my understanding correct that you turn the tailshaft around counting how many times it turns to the wheels 1 rotation? thanks also the car revs at 3500 or there abouts at 100ks an hr thanks Edited by user Sunday, 23 September 2007 3:56:57 AM(UTC)

hey leotard,
well that answers my question, as to how to check what ratio a diff is?
I did not know, what 3.36 and 3.08, etc etc etc meant? now I know, it is the amount of turns of the tail shaft in regard to the wheels? seems obvious now? but I had no |
