I hate asking questions that I know are already covered in other threads but i cant find it.
89 cherokee limited Automatic 4x4
I blew my 35, and picked up a 44 out of a stock automatic
what are my chances of the gear ratios matching. I'm just really hoping that i'll be able to use 4 wheel drive after the install tomorrow.
I have checked 2 websites for specifications but the info is not consistant.
I have concluded that the gear ratios could be 3:54 or 3:55
Thanks for any info you might share
