Ok, here is what the I.D. tag from my rear end says. I took off the cover to change the fluid and noticed that there was a tag. it said the following
{ 8953005003 }
{ 3.54 46-13 }
Now here's where I'm confused, 3.54 is the closest thing I can find that resembles what the final drive ratio would be (I know that there was a 3.55 ratio available in Jeeps, but not a 3.54). Now here's the catch. I can't find my Build slip (its MIA somewhere inside my house) but I remember clearly enough what it said. According to the build slip, I'm supposed to have a 3.73 rear end and the tow package (it had a class 3 hitch and the tow package gave it the Dana 44). My Build slip isn't one orederd from chrysler after the fact. It was in the window on June 26th-27th (somthing like that) the day it arrived (it came off the line in Toledo on May the 8th), ordered to my Great Uncle's specs, not bought off the lot. I'm just wondering if they put in a 3.55 instead of the 3.73 that's supposed to be in there. The rear end was never worked on (It may have had the gear oil changed, I'm not sure) but the gears inside the rear end and the rear end itself are the ones the Jeep had from the factory. I know there is some way that you can count the teeth on the gears and multiply to get the ratio. Can any one tell me the specifics of this method, because I might as well check it myself while the cover is off. Thanks in advance for any help any one can give me.
