Hi, I was trying to see what gears I have and this is what happended. It's a 70' Shortbox 4x4 and the tires one turn equalled almost 2 driveshaft turns. Would this be 3.73 gears? Thanks

Assuming you were turning one tire and the other was stationary, that sounds about right. If you have a posi or those numbers were with both tires turning an equal amount...I'd check again.
