Gearing Question

I know where to look but am having a hell of a time reading it. Remember once seeing someone check by VIN.

If possible could you look up 1J4FA39S54P703422

tks

You can send that to DC and request a build sheet, otherwise we can't do much with that. You can also go out to your Jeep and look at the rear differential, in the 9 o'clock position... it will either say 3 07 or 3 73.

when you look at the differential is the first 3 spaced a little from teh other 2 numbers. Mine is very hard to read but I think it reads 3 then a few spaces - then 73 together. My be wishful thinking though?

Its not going to have the numbers together ( say 3.73 or 3.07) it will say 3 (space) 73, or 3 (space) 07.

Most likely 3.73 gearing with the Dana 35 rear.

Here's the tag you need to look at. As you can see in the below photo, the axle that tag is bolted to has a 3.73 ratio.

OK. Tks for the info. I sent my request to DC.
If it is 3 73 vice 3 07 - does that make a considerable difference on 32" tires. Many have stated 3 07 suck with 32's....hows 3 73 in comparision?

Mine looks like ***** compared to that tag - but I'm pretty sure its 3.73. Thanks for the PM as well earlier - trying to get all my facts straight before I spend the $$$.

Yes it will make a big difference on 32s, if you have the 3.73s you will be much better off than 3.07s
