ratio
Ogier, like AmericanRider says, best to take the cover off the diff unless you have a tag to look at. The gear ratio is the number of teeth on the ring divided by the number of teeth on the pinion. If your driveline is turning roughly twice as often as your axle shaft, that doesn't sound quite right to me. A 4.88 ration means the rings gear has 4.88 times more teeth than the pinion. (Ring teeth = pinion teeth x 4.88). Probably be a good time to clean it out anyway. Best of luck, Brad
