HOW TO IDENTIFY GEAR RATIO

**Method 1: RPO Code (if available)**
– GU6 = 3.42 (automatic)
– GT4 = 3.73
– G80 = Limited Slip (all SS models)

**Method 2: Spin Test**
– Mark the pinion yoke and axle flange
– Count rotations – 3.45 turns of pinion = 1 turn of axle
– 3.91 turns of pinion = 1 turn of axle

**Method 3: Check Tag**
– Look for metal tag on differential cover bolts
– May indicate gear ratio
