    Gear Ratios Differential

    Gear Ratios Differential

    From a thread post from RetiredWarHorses.........maybe this is the answer. Easier is too tell what model year the truck is... 85-94 A0-A1 have 2:56 all A2’s have 2:73 ECV on up, 3:08

    Gear Ratios Differential

    Can anyone confirm the gear ratios used in the differentials and when they were changed?? My understanding is they went from 2.56 to 2.73 and then 3.08. But what years were they used/changed?
