Another gearing question

If you have the cover off count the ring gear teeth and the drive pinion teeth. Divide the number of drive pinion teeth into the number of ring gear teeth.

Dana 17483 = Dana 25, tooth count 43/8 = 5.38 axle ratio.

 

Thank you both.

I will count the ring and pinion, for verification.

@jp - where did you find this information? Google is not being friendly to the 17438 search :/

 

Jim's family owned a Jeep dealership. He has catalogs and stuff.

Usually the tooth count is stamped into the edge of the ring gear, ie "41 11" is 41/11 = 3.73 ratio.

 

I suppose a better question would be is it really a closed knuckle D25 front axle, since this is posted in the intermediate section.
Yes, I have a cheat sheet that shows Dana factory ring and pinion numbers converted to Jeep ring and pinion gear set numbers.

 

The OP's sig says '57 F134 CJ5... looks like it's simply in the wrong forum.

 

That is certainly my fault, I would move the post if I had that ability!

JP - I appreciate your help, and I certainly wasn't calling you into question! I'm a bit of a research junkie so, the more I can learn the better!
