    Question Dodge rearend ratio - how do I figure it out?

     



    How do I figure out what ratio my rear end is? It is a late-70's rear end.

    Jack up one wheel. Turn it one turn and count the turns the driveshaft makes, and double it. That number, expressed as a fraction, is the ratio. If your rear is a limited slip, jack up both wheels and count driveshaft turns, that is the ratio.
