Alright....I did read the FAQ on this but my answer isnt making any sense.

I jacked the rear of the truck off the ground both of the tires were off the ground and this truck has a limited slip differential. Driveshaft is disconnected so I counted the # of times the yoke turned...same thing right?.

one turn of the tire equaled about 1.5 turns of the yoke.

Now I know this cant be right. so do I need to multiply this by 2? that would give me 3.??

Anyone know what the ratio options were and what would be close? maybe 3.07?

There is no tag on the pumpkin, but I have the VIN. Is there a way to verify it with this?
