How to choose your axle gear ratio.
Axle gear ratios can be complicated and choosing the right ring and pinion can be hard. It certainly doesn't help that this is a big investment for most of us, so how do you choose the best ratio? In today's video we look at multiple ways to make sure you are buying the right gears for your axles and we even discuses if it's time to make the jump to a larger axle. This topic is complicated and the internet has more opinions then facts. Let me help get you the information you need so you can choose the right gear set the first time. Enjoy the video! Good luck!

@cmac956 3 года назад

Hi, Nate , I was watching an early video from Bleeping Jeep days and you were talking about useing a drill press as a mill .well this is posable .the only thing you have to watch out for is the size of and depth of your cut. A drill press is set up for down pressure , were as a mill is set up for side, and down pressure . it will still wear the bearings at a faster rate but you can do it .I have done this .the feed rate is also a factor. I was aa machinist for 40 years , and in a pinch you have to be creative .I just thought i would lend my opinion .

I like my 5.29's on my 35's on my 93 4 runner. In fact I might go to 5.71 unless I can get something in the 5.55 area. I have Yukon thick, 5.29 gears. But the guy who rebuilt my rear end and installed my Eaton E locker said I should use 4.88 and showed me a 5.29 pinion that was shredded and said that the 4.88 was the strongest gear in a Toyota rear end. It makes good power for a 3.0 in town I'm at about 3000 rpm for 35 mph driving. And it will,do 75 mph at 3500 rpm so not to bad. But can hardly use 5th gear. Makes a huge difference in how powerful the rig feels.

IMO, I thought you did a very good job of explaining how to figure what gear ratio you need when installing bigger tires !!! I am in agreement with you. I would rather have a ( rounding up ) lower gear ratio ( higher numerical number ) because it has less strain ( demand ) on the engine. Enjoyed the video !

@Klamath1970 3 года назад

I found that a horizontal bandsaw is the way to go. You can do so much more with a bandsaw than a 14" circular saw. The only disadvantage is the initial cost. I love your channel. It is good to see a regular guy build quality stuff without having a half million dollars worth of equipment in his shop. Keep up the good work.

Running 3.73s on 33s on my TJ (4.0,AX15) does alright, is a little of a dog, but after I get my 8.8 under and chromolys upfront I’ll run 4.88s, elockers, along with 35s.

Hey Nate, Provided you have the stock LT230 t case in your Disco 2, it has a stock Low range of 3.32:1. Also note that the stock High range for a D2 is 1.211:1. You could find the LT230 serial number stamped on it and use the last 3 "digits" (for example 70D) to make sure. There is also a great ratio calculator on the Ashcroft site. Looking forward for more videos! :)

My TJ is an 02 X with an 05 Rubicon underneath. 4.0 with 5sp manual and 35s. The 4.10s feel great once up to speed and putting down the highway but man getting up there takes awhile and 1st gear takes a lot of throttle to get going. Really thinking about going to 4.88s if not 5.13s.

As far as crawl ratio goes, automatic transmissions already benefit from torque multiplication due to the nature of the converter. If you're running a stick, shoot high.

I just want to say I really admire your incredible expertise. I really appreciate your videos. You even have me thinking I could pull off a TDI swap in my TJ. Anyways.. I digress. I have a question. I have seen a variety of opinions regarding driveshaft angles and pinion angle and caster. I have a Jeep TJ, with a 3.5" short arm lift (soon to be long arm). My front and rear drive shaft are double cardans. Should I be running my front and rear pinions in parallel with the driveshafts (0 degrees at the ujoint on the axle side of the driveshaft.) If so, what is an acceptable angle for my driveshaft/pinion. I have TJ rubicon axles. If you could answer this for me I would be so happy because I trust your answer. I am planning to do the long arm kit myself and think it's really necessary to correct some geometry issues I have with my short arm lift. I will be inadvertently but beneficially extending the wheelbase a bit.. the previous owner installed a lift and the wheelbase is not quite as long as it should be. The front coils rub the bump stops. Anyways, thanks in advance.

Im building a Ford 9 inch now and a HP D44 for a swap into my Ford Ranger. This answered my questions regarding gearing. I am curious as to how you have build your 9 inch and D44 to handle the 40 inch tires you run.

@DS-rj9db 3 года назад

Thanks for the info...I double checked my gear selection form a 3.73 on 32's to 4.56 on 35's is the perfect selection (rounding up). Which gets me a bit over for not only the 35's but also I get that little bit extra for towing when needed.

@maginusjames8859 Год назад

Not sure what you got but if it is an automatic can I ask did you notice a difference in how the transmission would shift once you changed the ratio?

@DS-rj9db Год назад

@@maginusjames8859 I have an F150 with an automatic. After going to the 6" lift on 35's with stock 3.73 ratio it was a gutless wonder. After going to 4.56 gears it was back to normal with a but more torque. Stock with 35's the gear change would have been 4.30 but they do not make 4.30 in both front and rear so went one step higher to a 4.56.

@DGrant1801 Год назад

I like this video, From cruising jeep forums they're hell bent on 4.88's/5.13's for 35's. Seems like they dont like freeways lmao. Using the calculator I came up with that same conclusion on the 4.27 ratio for my jeep, now, they dont really make a 4.27 commonly for d30's in the year I have. So next would be 4.56. Probably what I'm going to go with. I want to wheel a bit but really the idea is overlanding and just being able to go places without having to worry too terribly much. 4.56 seems like the go too unless I make it a moe dedicated off-road vehicle..

@robertcotrelljr8573 3 года назад

Awesome channel!!! I have a question about selecting a new gear. My build is to be a overland/trail truck that can crawl some. It’s a 98 dodge 12v auto truck. I’m moving towards 40’s and a 4:56 would have me nearly identical to stock drive-tire ratio. But I agree like you said that bigger tire could use the extra leverage. My variable though is I have a big modified diesel. Upgraded turbo and injectors plus several supporting mods. It has tons of low end torque so would it be any benefit to go to 4:88? That’s a lot of gear for a Cummins. Also I will drive mine to and from the trailhead so I will spend time at 80 on the freeway. Just would like to know your opinion and thoughts, maybe there’s something I missing but it seems 4:56 would be perfect.

@jdenmark1287 3 года назад

Hey Nate, excellent instructive video as always. I had a ‘98 disco same color as your current rig. When my V8 got tired and long in the tooth, I bought a 300tdi complete with autobox, wire harness and transfer case from a breaker in England. You could do the same for your disco II. They have TD5’s that will pop right in and wire directly up. You will only have to weld in motor mounts. The zF transmission on the TD5 is electronically programmable and there are a lot of companies selling upgrades to rechip/map the engines. Cheers

@landyandy9617 3 года назад

D1’s are a fairly easy swap for this, D2’s not really. To drop a TD5 into a V8 you’ll need the complete fuel system front to back, engine bay harness, dash cluster and all the little items. Basically you need to import a wrecked TD5 as a parts truck to ensure you get everything you need. Realistically it’s not worth all the hassle for what you’ll save in fuel in the long run, this is why you don’t see it done, if at all.

@jdenmark1287 3 года назад

@@landyandy9617 I’m not sure what you are getting at here. The V8 has little or nothing to do with it. What does is that the TD5 was designed to go into this vehicle and does so with changes to motor mounts and transmission crossmember. The beauty of doing such a swap is the wiring harnesses mate with the existing harnessing the frame is designed to handle the motor and drivetrain and you don’t have to figure out how to marry a non stock system into your destination vehicle. The rest of what you’re talking about is exactly what you get from a breaker, and yes you could import a “front clip” ( the front half of the vehicle) or you can have the engine to transfer case palleted and crated to ship. Engine swaps are never about “saving money in fuel to pay for the swap”. They are done to achieve a different purpose or to replace a worn out motor. Such swaps are done in the UK, and as I said, have been done here. Cheers

I have an 03 RAM 1500 quad-cab 4x4 with the 5.7 HEMI and I have gone from 31.5-inch tires to 35s with the stock ratio of 3.55:1. I drive 50/50 highway and city rarely going above 65-70. When I go off-road it is on the slower side driving up moderate fire roads. Most have said to go with 4.56 gears but some have said that 4.10 was plenty for them. The equation of (35/31.5)*3.55 gives a new ratio of 4.09:1. I don't know what to do. Could you help? Thanks!

@SubePelayo928 2 года назад

I’ve been trying to figure out what gear ratio I should go with to be an all around gear for what I do. I live in Arizona. So, I take my 4runner to the dunes(Glamis) a lot where wheel speed is key. But also love going up to the mountains and go crawling. Should I keep the stock 4.10 gear ratio or go with 4.88’s. I have both already. I’m running 35’s as well and LS / th350 and Dual Toy cases

@yogr69 3 года назад

I believe the reasoning behind the thinner ring gears is driven by stress allowables. The ultimate strength of a material generally goes down as plate thickness increases.

I’m 22 and currently working but may go back to school, in school money is an issue if I were to spend thousands on a dana30 front to install new gears. 34s would be 2850 going 70 but at 80 with my 3.73 gears I’m over 3k and the engine runs great.

Just keep an eye on the land rover transfer case ratios as strong as they are most that im aware of are not 1:1 in high range. I think they may have sone this to be able to run smaller diffs. Ie 3.54 BIGGER pinion than a lower gear set. Well i think any ways.

The old axle we swapped out was a 7.5 with 4.10s with those tiny 25ish inch tires, but i wouldnt think that would matter because of the drivetrain swap, i dont know, im lost right now lmao. Help?😂

So I’m in a 00 Tacoma TRD so it’s got the 4.10 with 29” tires from factory, I’m running 33s so my Quick Formula answer is 4.66. Should I go with a 4.56 or up to a 4.88? I’ve got the 3.4 V6 with a manual for those wondering

My 01 TJ with a 4.0 had 3.07 years from factory, crazy

Aren't they the worst? ha

Did you paint your TJ yourself? And if so what paint is on it?

Can you do a video on exceeding your vehicles design limits in regards to payload GVWR: springs, lugs, brakes, cooling and power to weight ratio. I see a lot of overloaded slobbed out Jeeps running down the freeway with little 4 and 6 cylinders engines and 35s and bigger tires.

Good video...I just cheated and called Yukon, told them what I had/what I was doing with it, and asked about ratio options. LOL

I have a question for you, My 2019 Chevy Express passenger van 2500 6.0L 6L90 6 speed automatic 30.4 " tires 3.42.1 rear gears 6,000 lbs I feel with leaving the stock height tires if my van had a 3.73.1 years it would move the weight more efficiently And I would probably get a bit better gas mileage! What is your opinion?

@willyoung164 3 года назад

I have 5.38 gears in my Suzuki samurai with stock axles and I can honestly say the pinion is downright adorable lmfao. Kinda makes me nervous wheeling it on 33s. Thankfully I have a Wagoneer d44 and an 8.8 to replace them soon

Hahaha, love this, I gotta go look up some pics!

@willyoung164 3 года назад

@@OrdnanceTV for comparison, that dana 60 has a 10.5 inch (I think) ring gear. My Suzuki axles have a ring gear that is 6.9 inches. So you can imagine how small the pinion is

@CodyFazio 3 года назад

I have an 8.8 in my YJ. Damn good axle, quite beefy

Wouldn't it be easier to Change the Ratio in the Transfer Case? Plus increased relyability?

I just saw your video Q? Ford f150 dealers offer a supercharger in the 5.0 going from 400hp to 705hp Now it comes with a 3.55 gearing I want to get a 3.73 instead.... what are the pros and cons for durability down the road? Thanks for your video
