I know for sure 2.5 4cyl. and 5sp. on a Wrangler equals 4.10s.Im guessing the Cherokee would be the same.

 

Are you talking about tjs? Because my cherokee is a 96, which is what is confusing me.

 

Theres ways to tell what gear ratio you have since not all 4cyl xjs came with 4.10s. In fact iv found 6 4cyl xjs without 4.10s

 

What are the ways to see what the ratio is?

 

Psssssst.

There's a metal tag on each diff cover, held on by 2 adjacent bolts. What do they say?

 

Didn't see a metal tag, but there was a "4.1" or "4 1", couldn't tell which exactly, stamped into diff cover. Is that it?

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Ya it was "4.1" here's a pic

With the youngest Cherokees reaching 14 years of age, many of the axle tags are long ago lost or rusted away.

Use the Google or watch some Youtube for details, as Pismo already suggested, you can estimate the gear ratio by turning the tires by hand, and counting the driveshaft revolutions. Or you can confirm the exact gear ratio by reading it off the ring gears stampings.

 

Yeah. You could change the fluid while you're at it!!
